...best keyboard artists under 35. A galvanizing pianist whose appeal is not confined to showers of notes, he fuses virtuosity with a sense of poetry, but in this account of the Liszt B Minor Sonata, Slobodyanik shows a lapse of heart.

But giving the Simpleton a solo spot in the forest clearing, at the opera's end, is mere staginess...
