WALTZING IN! [WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD]
After her 2008 Chopin/EMI release, it's no surprise at all that Fliter's 2009 traversal of the Waltzes tenaciously establishes her as a pianist whose perception, individuality and consummate artistry are to be reckoned with, especially in a repertoire replete as it is with available recordings and ardent admirers. Favorite performances may seem now to somehow pale by comparison, and for a new artist this is no small measure of accomplishment. As Fliter boldly rings in the opening notes of Op. 18, one is more than transfixed by the frisson of what feels like live music-making--- exuberant, intense, emotional--- and by the innate awareness that these "dances of the heart" will, under her hands, become a breathtaking reality.The wistful, melancholic waltzes irrefutably confirm this initial impression with their haunting, world-weary nostalgia--- so clearly brimming with profoundly lyrical resignation--- transmuted by Fliter into pieces of astonishing depth and humanity. Her unaffected instinct for and understanding of this music extends to the simplest pieces, as well, continuing such a natural and delicately nuanced ebb and flow that the works become utterly irresistible. The inclusion of the somewhat spurious twentieth waltz, a splendidly enchanting addition to the canon (first recorded by Garrick Ohlsson in 1996 on Arabesque), adds yet another reason to herald this new CD. Throughout, Fliter's potential is uncompromised, her mastery admirable. All her ear-tickling "eccentricities," curious hesitations and pauses, clarity of voicing, and her surprising use of various manuscript variants make for an exceptional Chopin pianist--- and very few of same have been intrepid enough to peer as deeply into the Waltzes as Fliter does, nor to bring to them such an entirely new and transcendental meaning so very far removed from the salon.
