AfriClassical welcomes another release from Stewart Goodyear, and notes that All Music Guide reports the pianist restores the full score of the Third Concerto on this recording.
ArkivMusic Notes and Editorial Reviews
Stewart Goodyear's
second release on Steinway & Sons is a followup to his acclaimed
2014 release of the Tchaikovsky and Grieg Piano Concertos. The Canadian
pianist is a notable concert soloist and has performed with the New York
Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic,
Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and the Philadelphia Orchestra, among many
others. In 2013, he gave a series of marathon performances in the U.S.
of all the Beethoven piano sonatas, performing the complete cycle in a
single, eleven-hour performance at each venue.
All Music Guide Review
"...Goodyear is an exceptional artist, and his performances with Heiko
Mathias Förster and the Czech National Symphony are worth
hearing for their clarity and the balance of technical skill and
expressive subtlety. Perhaps the most significant point to make about
this disc is Goodyear's restoration of the full score of the Third
Concerto, which was cut by Rachmaninov in an attempt to popularize it.
Beyond that, there are no surprises, just reliable performances that
offer equal portions of virtuosity and emotion. Rendered with taste and
intelligence by Goodyear." -- Blair Sanderson, All Music Guide Read less
