Adriel Gomez-Mansur – Recital (2006) {SACD ISO + FLAC 24bit/88,2kHz}

Upon first listening to this album, it’s hard to imagine that many if any listeners would think that it was a premiere recording for the artist, or that the artist in question was all of 17 years of age when it was made. Argentinean pianist Adriel Gomez-Mansur’s choice of repertoire does not focus on the flashy, the ostentatious, or the bravura as one might expect. Rather, many of his selections, such as the Liszt Consolation No. 3 and Schumann Traumerei, are from the more introspective and serene portion of the repertoire. In these works, Gomez-Mansur demonstrates a musical maturity and depth well beyond his young years at the time of recording. There’s certainly plenty of virtuosic playing to be found on this disc – such as four of Rachmaninov’s Op. 32 Preludes and two Scriabin etudes – but even these technically demanding works never come across as exercises or showpieces. His playing is true to the musical intentions of the composer rather than a self-serving medium to showcase his own technique. Check out this album for a truly musical journey delivered by an astonishingly talented youth.
