Music exists only in its delivery through interpreting musical notes: when an interpreter fully understands and feels the composers world of thoughts, listeners experience an immense pleasure. This is exactly what happened to the audience at F.Chopins Society Hall in F. Kennedys House in Darmstadt: young Lithuanian pianist Šviesė Čepliauskaitė enchanted all with her mature and emotional playing. Daniela Goebel
In Šviesė's performance we heard a livelier, human and therefore more
attractive Chopin, not the sweetened poet or the spiritual martyr, as he
is often presented to listeners
By cleverly combining and grouping
waltzes Šviesė managed to keep equilibrium between the bravura and
melancholy, between the salon taste and moderation. I would like to
point out the pianist's impeccable technique, precise performance of
tiny flourishes without drowning, however, in details, but by preserving
the breath of phrases and the sense of the whole piece (form).
Šviesė Čepliauskaitė, an artist from Lithuania, demonstrated her full capacity as a pianist-virtuoso and impressed with a very beautiful sound The culmination of the evening was Tarantella by F. Liszt, which due to an impeccable technique broke free dancing away from the piano. ŠVIESĖ ČEPLIAUSKAITĖ performed in all main concert halls in different towns of Lithuania, and toured with her concerts in Great Britain (1990), Russia (1993, 2005, 2006), Poland (1995-2010), Germany (1998), the Netherlands (1999, 2005), Belgium (2003, 2009), Japan (2003), Estonia (2003). The largest part of Šviesės repertoire are pieces by composers romanticists. She is especially taken by F.Chopins works. She is the first piano player in Lithuania who recorded all his waltzes. Invited by F. Chopins Society , Šviesė played recitals in Germany (Darmstadt , 1998) and Poland (Żelazowa Wola, 2002, 2005 and Warszawa: Łazienki Królewskie, 2005, Powsin, 2007, 2010). Š.
