The music of Chopin and South AmericaWhether you consult the New York Times,
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung or Limelight
Magazine, it is hard to find a review of Sergio Tiempo
that does not highlight the virtuosity of his playing.
Yet his technical prowess is rendered almost
irrelevant by the individuality of Tiempo’s
interpretations and by the depth of his
understanding and insight into the repertoire he
plays, from Brahms to Villa-Lobos, from Beethoven
to Ginastera. Utilising the full arsenal of expression
at his disposal, from a “sound [so big] you might have
thought his piano was amplified” (Philadelphia
Explorer) to “a seductive pianissimo” (Berliner
Morgenpost) and “whispering phrases” (New York
Classical Review), both “percussive” and “sparkling
and crystalline” (Frankfurter Rundschau), he lets the
listener in on what he sees in a piece of music. Both
audacious and nuanced, his playing exposes the
composer’s ideas as he recognises them. If his
choices seem daring, then that is a risk that pays off.
It is easy to set Tiempo’s interpretations apart from
any other and the results are “scintillating” (New
York Times) performances, presented with incredible
stage presence and charisma.
