Allowing us deeper into Dinara<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"DinaraHer image has resembled a slavic warrior. Long black hair in luring waves beyond the shoulders. Darkish brown eyes in sometimes piercing gaze. Smiles brief and rationed. Frowns fleeting but frequent. Speech quick and penetrating.<\/p>\n

Her most-feared weapons? A quiver-full of Liszt Transcendental Etudes and Prokofiev Sonatas, all 19 arrowheads tipped with a lethal dab of Chopinesque power and poetry.<\/p>\n

Her trail of destruction? First, a summoning from the International Chopin Festival, by the world matriarch of explosively unsurpassable piano performance, Martha Argerich, to perform and demonstrate her deadliness at her Lugano Festival.<\/p>\n

Second, a CD smelted and fired in the Mendelssohn-Salon of the Leipzig Gewandhaus (those 12 Liszt Studies) that had Sir Andr\u00e0s Schiff and Stephen Kovacevich (once Argerich\u2019s husband), BBC Music Magazine\u2019s Record of the Month and other prestigious reviewings saluting the presence of a new force in that demanding and exacting repertoire. Specific recruitment by Schiff for his elite squad of outstanding new young artists attacking recital venues in Berlin, Frankfurt, Zurich and New York.<\/p>\n

Next, a CD bequeathed to series The Fryderyk Chopin Institute of Complete Works on Contemporary Instruments. \u00a0Now her new release of all nine far-ranging Prokofiev Sonatas, forged and nailed in a Netherlands recording studio, further piling up her potent reputation among critics and soothsayers.<\/p>\n

Is this young woman the leader of new breed of Br\u00fcnnhildan Valkyries? Or is all this more realistic than operatic scenario? Is her training backstory \u2013 Ukrainian girl goes to Moscow Central School of Music, then the Russian capital\u2019s Tchaikovsky State Conservatoire; London\u2019s Royal College of Music and Britten Fellowship in Britain \u2013 a mere librettist\u2019s concoction? It\u2019s fun viewing through that lens, but I\u2019ve nearly finished.<\/p>\n

Dinara Klinton\u2019s next concert in Sussex looks deceptively like voluntary disarmament. Having rained her arsenal onto the musical establishment battlements, and gained an assistant piano professorship at RCM as a prize scalp, she\u2019s shedding her helmet and armour.<\/p>\n

Her confiding programme of disclosure at Music & Wine series at St Luke\u2019s Queen\u2019s Park in Brighton on Friday 15 October (7.30) will be warming enlightenment for a westerner assuming Russian piano repertoire to be barely undetached in soul from in its concert-hall persona of hard-hitting, big-scale, virtuosic emotion-dumping, or else vintage ironic and sarcastic ideological obedience or subversion, with the odd film or ballet score protruding.<\/p>\n

Dinara Klinton herself tells us what she has in store, and where her artistry has lately arrived:<\/p>\n

\u201cI welcome you to spend this Friday evening with me, enjoying not just the wine, but my taster for you of the most exquisite Russian musical bouquet. Some of my samples will be lesser known to you, but not any less delicious.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese little pieces will walk you through the fruitful blossom of Russian romanticism with a futuristic aftertaste. From soft Lyadov Prelude on to racy ‘Lark’, herbaceous Medtner and beefy Taneyev. Then after a little social pause we\u2019ll have smoky Scriabin, then heady Rachmaninov to end the evening.<\/p>\n

\u201cCome with your senses and prepared to be delighted!<\/p>\n

The sensible advice seems to be: think not about chainmail , helmets or breastplates. Bring instead your hearts, palates and finer feelings \u2013 and uncover kindred Russian feeling!<\/p>\n
