Steven Spooner, Pianist: Reviews The final pianist of the evening was Steven Spooner. enchanting. . RUTHLAREDO, review of Rachmaninov s Second Piano Sonata, op. 36, 1996 http://music.dnn.cc/people/spooner/reviews.html
Extractions: Debut Album Debut Album Liner Notes THE HERALD-TIMES , review of all-Liszt concert, Bloomington, Indiana, November 13, 2002: "Spooner, victor in the Liszt Competition in Russia, took on music of what was referred to as the 'virtuoso Liszt,' music of the composer as a young man.... There were flourishes galore and chordal clusters and runs and resounding climaxes.... One heard phenomenally agile pianism along with temperamentally sensitive musicianship." GAZETA WROCLAWSKA (THE BRESLAU NEWS) , Wroclaw, Poland, October 5, 2002: "The competition (The International Liszt Competition) on Thursday afternoon was ruled by the arch-professional, serious, and beautiful performance of Steven Spooner from the U. S. A. His playing was thought through to the finest detail from the beginning to its perfect conclusion. His Transcendental Etudes, Wilde Jagd and Harmonies du Soir were virtuosic and emotionally stirring. The Schubert Serenade in Liszt's transcription was both lyrical and clearly conceived." THE HERALD-TIMES , review of duo concert with violinist Leor Maltinski, Bloomington, Indiana, August 6, 2002: "Following a break, Maltinski turned to Beethoven and Franck. The Beethoven A Minor Sonata for Violin and Piano, Opus 23, brought forth an appropriate energy mixed with reserve. From both the violinist and pianist Steven Spooner one heard a warmth of touch and temperament that gave the sonata just the right adornment. Here was well-executed Beethoven.
