27 hours ago Samson Tsoy: Inmost Heart: Bach, Brahms, Busoni, Reger review – the pianist’s subtle, searching debut

(Linn)Playing Brahms’s transcriptions of Bach and Handel, then Reger and Busoni takes on Brahms, Tsoy contemplates creativity across centuries in this fine recitalElegantly constructed and intimate, this debut solo recital album by London-based Kazakh pianist Samson Tsoy has the music of Johannes Brahms at its centre. The fascination here is Tsoy’s exploration of Brahms’s passion for music of the past, specifically for his towering predecessors, JS Bach and Handel. Brahms transcribed works of theirs for piano, forging his own distinctive voice with theirs in an act of homage and discovery.The magnificent Handel Variations, Op 24 spins an unexciting little baroque theme into 25 variations of brilliant variety and ingenuity. Brahms set himself a particular challenge with the Chaconne from Bach’s Partita No 2 in D minor. Attempting to reflect the immeasurable yet compressed range of a work written for solo violin, he restricted his arrangement to piano left hand only. This gives a shad...

Under-fire owner has transformed Tottenham into a fully self-sustaining entity. The alternatives are hardly more palatableThere was a tender moment at the end of Tottenham’s win against Elfsborg on Thursday night as Ange Postecoglou walked out on to the pitch looking a little haunted and jittery, a strange kind of light in his eyes. It took a few seconds to work out what was up. The reason for this was he was happy. Here was a man remembering how to smile, willing his face into the right kind of shape, searching for the muscle memory.It was also a nice moment.
