Yes I know, it's Couperin on piano. (And I still have mixed feelings about the Kolesnikov.) Any opinions despite that?
He’s put his hands on a good piano, I haven’t got the booklet so I can’t say what it is or how it’s been tuned. He sometimes uses the timbres in the upper registers very effectively.
He’s developed a distinctive touch - the liaison between adjacent notes. He doesn’t use it all the time of course. It makes the music sound jittery.
He sometimes finds a singing melody, and fix things up so that all the othe voices support or dance round it, rather than than interrupt it.
But these two things - jittery portato in one hand and cantabile in the other - make quite a distinctive sound, one which is far from smooth and polished. This is quite original as far as I know.
There’s quite a bit of variety of touch and tone.
Hats off to him for having a go at the unmeasured music, IMO rather nicely done.
He can play quite loudly sometimes.
