Review

Rhythmically irresistible performance

Valentina Seferinova
The Rotunda,
Portsmouth Grammar School

Bulgarian by birth, married to a Brit and living at Waterlooville, pianist Valentina Seferinova is a favourite at Portsmouth Music Club – and no wonder.
In Austro-German and Russian repertoire, she slipped easily into the different musical languages, even achieving Russian-accented Viennese in Prokofiev’s presentation of Schubert waltzes.  That was compelling, and the quirkiness of a Shostakovitch waltz in his Three Fantastic Dances was a delight.
In the final sections of Tchaikovsky’s The Seasons, she caught October’s fluidity of movement, tapering down hypnotically; you could hear the rattle of the troika in November; and December’s waltz was rhythmically irresistible.
In Scriabin’s Seven Preludes, Op17, she was haunting in stillness as she was stunning at speed. For some listeners (I suspect) a wondrous discovery.
