"Harmonies du Soir" (Harmonies of the Evening) by Franz Lizst can easily come across in the wrong hands as a bombastic piece. Yevgeny Sudbin brings to it a modern sensibility, a subtlety that without eschewing bravura when bravura is called for, portrays the seductive power and passions the music seeks to depict. Thus by focusing on the music and not the pianist, Sudbin succeeds in his masterful rendition and brings Lizst into our age. Congratulations to him.
