Yunjie Chen's new album of Franz Liszt's "Etudes d'execution transcendante" is a worthwhile addition to any classical music collection. Chen, who is known for his interpretative depth and technical prowess, brings a fresh perspective to these complex works. From a young age, Chen has been studying Liszt's challenging pieces, which he first encountered at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. His deep connection to these works is evident in his interpretation, which balances technical precision with emotional depth. Chen sees Liszt's etudes not just as technical exercises, but as character pieces, each with its own story and emotion. Yunjie Chen's approach to these pieces is both respectful of Liszt's intentions and committed to his own musical credo. He avoids over-romanticizing the music and instead strives for a balance between rhythmic precision and expressive emotion. His nuanced interpretation brings out the vivid images and sensations in each etude, from the wit and sarcasm of "Feux Follets" to the heroic and tempestuous "Mazeppa".
