    Virtuosic...but not a must have
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 9, 2021*

An older friend of mine (who was an accomplished artist) and I used to go to university art department graduation shows.  So often he would look at technically polished works and comment "Know how, but no soul.".  So it is here.  Polished, precise, but no hesitation. No nuance. No inflection. On to the next note... full speed ahead!!!  True, he doesn't stoop to what I call Gould's "Dragnet" flatness: " Please, just the notes mamm."  With the greats so often what you hear is lived experience.  At 24 how much lived experience can you bring to a piece?  The gap between 24 and 44 can be measured in light years.  And make no mistake we've all been there in our own way. Who doesn't in their twenties think they've got their head around  Eliot's Quartets, Picasso's Guernica, Chartre's labyrinth, or the Mysterium Coniunctionis?  But, you have to start somewhere. And this is a brilliant (technically) start.  But I hope Mr. Levit will return to these pieces in the future with something more to say than "Look what I can do!".

    RICH, DEEP, BEAUTIFUL MUSIC EXTRAORDINARILY WELL PLAYED
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 2, 2015*

LEVIT, Igor.  Beethoven: The Late Piano Sonatas. 2 CDs.  SNYM. 2013.  IL, p. This two-CD recording of Beethoven’s late piano sonatas (op. 101, 106, 109-111) is wonderful!  Russian-born Levit was only 26 when he recorded but so assured is he and so wise in his playing that age becomes immaterial. These compositions, written when Beethoven was totally deaf and suffering from depression, have stirred up more controversy than his other earlier work, prompting an early commentator to write that they were the works of a man who had gone mad. They don’t seem that chaotic now, but they are free of constricting rules on musical composition that may have held sway then but seem inessential now. This is rigorously demanding music that requires an artist who can combine ferocious technique with great sensitivity. I read a criticism of this recording that complained of Levit’s lack of dramatic expressiveness. I wonder if the listener was listening to the same music I was, because unexpressiveness is not a term I would apply to it. This is first-rate piano playing and rich, deep, beautiful music.

    This guy is only 27?!
  

*by J***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 21, 2014*

I read a New York Times review of a recent (March 2014) performance by Igor Levit at a tiny venue in New York City. I gather he does not show up in the United States very often and the reviewer was intrigued. Levit played the last three Beethoven piano sonatas and it sounds like the audience was enraptured. The reviewer, who was rather bowled over himself, mentioned that Levit had recorded the last five Beethoven sonatas and I wondered how he handled these daunting pieces.All I can say is that these recordings go straight to my A-list, up there with the classic performances by Arthur Schnabel  and Richard Goode. Levit handles most of the technical challenges with easy virtuosity (his trilling might be a little better … or maybe not; I'll have to listen some more). But it is the emotional and interpretive maturity that he brings to these works, which Schnabel famously described as "better than they can be played," that really impresses. Perhaps what I like most about the Levit performances is their sense of spontaneity: they sound as if they were being played by a real human being.
