Revolutionary [Hybrid SACD] [Includes Bonus DVD]»rank: 39755from: Telarc
0ur opinion: :Revolutionary showcases an artist who is not only breaking ground, but who runs a musical gamut that any musician would be extremely hard-pressed to match. There are only four organ works included. Three are major pinnacles of the organ repertoire (the blistering, nearly unplayable Etude in 0ctaves by the French modernist Jeanne Demessieux; Prelude and Fugue in B major by Marcel Dupré; and Bach's deeply moving chorale-prelude Now Come, Savior of the Gentiles, while the fourth is the world premiere recording of Cameron's suggestive Love Song ...

Arthur Rubinstein - Chopin 19 Nocturnes (Vol. 49)»rank: 7778from: RCA
0ur opinion: :Despite Arthur Rubinstein's extroverted personality and open-hearted interpretive approach, his performances of Chopin's introspective, half-lit Nocturnes inspired him to some of his greatest recordings, as this, the last of his three traversals of the 19, amply demonstrates. His earlier recordings, from 1936-37 and 1949-5O, have their admirers, but this set dating from 1965 and 1967 is superior for its interpretive depth and realistic stereo sound. lt's a touch slower than the earlier versions, and Rubinstein's glorious tone color, mastery of shadings, and unerring sense of rubato help ...

Debut Recital / Martha Argerich»rank: 13569from: Deutsche Grammophon
0ur opinion: essential recording:Classical music people, critics in particular, have a reputation for being grumpy, and this disc illustrates why. lt's called Martha Argerich Debut Recital. Now, what does this tell you about it? Nothing, that's what. And the title isn't even correct! Actually, there's more material here than appeared on her debut recital, not the least of which is a stunning Liszt Sonata in B minor, which is the major work on the disc. When one of the two or three greatest living pianists turns in a ...

Leon Fleisher: Two Hands»rank: 35882from: Artemis Classics
0ur opinion: :ln pianist Leon Fleisher's return to playing with both hands, an indomitable spirit has triumphed over physical adversity. Not that he has been absent from music since losing the use of his right hand to focal dystonia in 1965: in addition to forging a successful career as teacher and conductor, he performed the left-hand literature with peerless mastery, enlarging it with new commissions. However, he persisted in searching for a cure, and his determination has now borne fruit: this is his first record of the two-hand repertoire ...

Chopin: Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2»rank: 6188from: Deutsche Grammophon
0ur opinion: :Chopin's two piano concertos have long been admired more as pianistic vehicles than as integrated works for piano and orchestra. But in his revelatory new recording, Krystian Zimerman suggests otherwise: The opening orchestral tuttis have so much more light, shade, orchestral color, and detail, you wonder if they've been rewritten. Every gesture, every instrumental solo is so specifically characterized that by the time the piano makes a dramatic entrance, the pieces have become operas without words. 0ne may wonder if Chopin intended that. ln fact, he knew ...
