PIANO PERFORMANCE AT UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA, MUSAION Pianists Celia Roca and Susana Gutman were the performers at a concert at the Pretoria University Musaion in August. The concert was held under the auspices of the Uruguayan embassy to commemorate the 175th anniversary of the declaration of the independence of Uruguay. The duo-pianists played with the fluency and communicative warmth this particular genre needs. They had a wide range of dynamics, yet rarely did one feel that any detail was exaggerated. In the J. S. Bach adagio they performed with clarity. Teamwork was impeccable. They successfully revealed the inner beauties of the music. Lyricism predominated in Brahms' Variations on a theme of Haydn. Their intriguing understatement of romantic rhetoric came as a pleasant surprise. It was a case of inimitable charm produced with some lovely tone. The eloquence and subtlety of their playing were at once present in the set of variations. They avoided the rattling vacuity so often suggested and elicited a vital, yet sensitive execution. Their marvellous lucidity of performance entailed, among other things, the application of a subtle range of quiet columns particularly in the recital statement of the theme. In the South American material the pianists played with predictable idiomatic panache, the Argentinian piece (Llanura) with uncanny ensemble and crispness, the two Uruguayan items for four hands, the first (Triste no 1) with ineffable grace and the second (Joropo) with rhythmic tautness. In Milhaud's Scaramouche the composer's sunny ebullience was projected with striking colour. Here was due efficiency coupled with the ingredient so pivotal to make this number work ± charm. The outer movements were fast, on the verge of hectic, but with ensemble reasonably clean. The central ModereÂ was suitably pensive. In Lutoslawsky's Variations on a theme of Paganini the two pianists thrilled with an exceptionally varied palette of sounds. Shading was bold, but not unduly harsh and contrasts grand in the extrovert passages.
