Spring Lake Village Classical Music Series / Wednesday, September 18, 2024

Pianist Daniel Glover

SPANISH MUSIC AT SPRING LAKE VILLAGE

by Terry McNeill
Wednesday, September 18, 2024

San Francisco-based pianist Daniel Glover has played often in Santa Rosa, for Concerts Grand and Music at Oakmont, and Sept. 18 he returned to the Spring Lake Village Concerts series in a short program featuring Spanish music. One hundred attended.

Playing in an acoustically dry flat hard floor hall with an overfly bright piano, the pianist’s power was on nearly continual display, heavily pedaled, with little attention paid to the elegance, repose and warmth of many of the works. Highlights of the playing included Mompou’s Canción y Danza No. 6; Granados’ ethereal Intermezzo (from his opera “Goyescas”); Albéniz’ D Major Tango (not in the Godowsky transcription); and an unfamiliar work from Ravel - Piece In the Form of a Habanera.

There was one encore, another Falla work, a Nocturne in F from 1900.

The artist is a witty raconteur of musical history related to the chosen composers, knows prominent facts and had prescient insights into Spanish music that charmed his audience.
