Alice Sara Ott follows up the Complete Chopin Waltzes her highly successful
international debut with her first concerto recording on Deutsche Grammophon.
The young artist presents two of the greatest hits in the repertoire:
Tchaikovskys and Liszts First Piano Concertos. She recorded this partly live
(Tchaikovsky) album in her home town of Munich with the superb Munich
Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Thomas Hengelbrock, known as a modern
interpreter with strong ideas (and a strong work ethic). The two concertos are
works that have accompanied Alice Sara Ott since her early youth. She played the
Liszt before an audience the first time when she was 14 and the Tchaikovsky at
17. She has an intense relationship with both works, something clearly audible
in the 21-year-old pianists vivid interpretations. Alice says about the
Tchaikovsky: This piece is a revolution for me. It actually contains very
different perspectives on life: the melancholy and gloomy, the majestic and,
then again, the bright and light, lyrical and soaring. In any case its a
challenge. A physical one, of course, but, in the end, really a mental one. A
challenge she has mastered, as the Sddeutsche Zeitung confirmed: In the midst of
Tchaikovskys avalanche of notes, Ott somehow manages to tease out the quiet
passages, and with great poise to make room for lyricism and gently grazing the
keys for a dreamy but distinct play of colours.
