★★★★
Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847): Variations Sérieuses in D minor, Op. 54
Franz Schubert (1797-1828): Four Impromptus, D899
Franz Liszt (1811-1886): Litanie, S562/1, piano transcr. from Schubert's Am Tage Aller Seelen, D343
Franz Liszt: Hungarian Rhapsody No. 9 in E flat major 'Carnival in Pest', S244/9
Mendelssohn:
'From his opening prayerful statement of the theme onwards, he ensured the melody sang through at all times'.
Schubert:
'Grynyuk opened the C minor with a captivating pianissimo, and the dynamic contrasts here were arresting'.
Liszt/Schubert:
'Grynyuk’s warm tone made the lyrical melody sing out of the rich texture'.
Liszt:
'Grynyuk also took great delight in the jaunty rhythms and cheeky ornamentation as each melody was introduced – I’m sure there was a twinkle in his eye once or twice – before the fireworks took over each time'.
