Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No.3 Gülsin Onay / Bilkent Symphony Orchestra - Emil Tabakov
Gülsin Onay - A Rachmaninoff interpreter with a sensitive decisiveness, and intelligent brilliance and, when necessary, also with chord power. Above it all, however, there governs, or better, hovers, a female-male humanity, which conjures up from the very semplice beginning of the D minor Piano Concerto (op.30) an atmosphere of a loving dedication to detail, while simultaneously showing an energetic feeling for everything that is to come. For me Gülsin Onay met this monstrous as well as intimate concerto as an artist who is passionate and who has the ability to entrust everything that is tender as if smilingly to her intelligent fingers, in order to climb the dangerous mountains of this capital mountain range in the next moment. I have seldom experienced the ``cinematic'' Finale of the D minor concerto this passionately, this rhythmically explosive and at the same time, this enlighteningly cantabile played, even lived through. This was the last musical consequence of a precisely told "story" of light and dark, soft and hard, and in the balance of direct and indirect lighting, which can only be told by a supreme pianist full of fantasy.
