From south of the border comes a new face at the keyboard, one Patricia Garcia Torres making her New York debut (Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, Nov. 20).
This comely senora plays with a fine balance of grace and strength, perfect for making Prokofiev's First Sonata or Debussy's L'Isle joyeuse sound like the genuine classics they are.
The one very contemporary piece she handled with complete mastery was Sonata II by Federico Ibarra. One sensed an urgency in the composer's lines, not umlike that of Chopin's "Revolutionary" Etude, though one cannot claim the right to attribute the same sentiments to both composers.
Sra. García Torres embraced the work as if it had some special meaning for her. All of the selections on this mostly classical program were treated with the individuality of character that an exceptional pianist will discern by judging the composer's intentions more than just the notes.
