classical music: Murray Perahia     classical music:     Murray Perahia      Bach: English Suites Nos. 2, 4 & 5 / Perahia Johann Sebastian Bach, Murray Perahia Sony, 1999 Perahia understands Bach. A compelling and sparkling recording, that captivates and grows on you, like all good Bach interpretations. Although not on a harpsichord, Perahia fully masters and comprehends the "authentic" creative world of JS Bach. Unlike some Gould extravaganzas, the ...             Mendelssohn: Piano Concertos Felix Mendelssohn, Neville Marriner, ... Sony, 1990 A Legendary Recording There are so many things that could be said about this recording. It deserves a spot on any top 50 classical recordings list. The piece and the performance are both 5 stars. Mendelssohn is an undeservingly neglected composer. He is ususally thought of as an ...             Bach: Keyboard Concertos Nos. 3, 5, 6, 7 Johann Sebastian Bach, Murray Perahia, ... Sony, 2002 Murray Perahia's Bach The first thing one notices about Murray Perahia's latest recording of Bach keyboard concertos is the brisk tempo, the ebullient phrasing, and rhythmically incisive orchestral playing that carries the listener along from note to note in breathless anticipation. At the ...             Bach: Goldberg Variations Johann Sebastian Bach, Murray Perahia Sony, 2000 Sublime - a worthy replacement for Gould Murray Perahia takes the Goldberg Variations to new heights here, to my mind/ear even more thoughtfully, sensitively and musically than Gould, Schiff & Hewitt (yes, pretty difficult, but that's what I think is achieved here). Here we have a supreme Goldberg ...             Chopin Etudes Fryderyk Chopin, Murray Perahia Sony, 2002 The musical soul of Poland ! Perhaps in no other genre Chopin opened his heart with major intensity. The introspectiveness of these pages reveal the spiritual core, composed as any human being of passion, poetic ardor, patritic flame, fevered lyricism and profound sentiment. The emotional ...             Schubert: Impromptus For Piano Franz Schubert, Murray Perahia Sony, 1990 OMFG! Perahia's recording of Schubert is amazing! Every track on this CD is moving, insightful, and fun. Though the only other renditions I've heard are Horowitz's 899 #4 and Brendel's 899 #3, I liked Perahia's versions more. The beginning of Perahia's 899#4 is like a nice ...             Mozart: Sonata for 2 Pianos in D Major, K. 448; Schubert: Fantasia for Piano, 4 Hands in F Minor, D 940 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz Schubert, ... Sony, 2003 The Full Keyboard - More Mozart and Schubert! The credentials of both of the two soloists here - Murray Perahia and Radu Lupu - are impeccable as individual interpreters of the works of both Mozart and Schubert and so it should come as no surprise that as they sit at the same keyboard the result is nothing less ...             Mozart: The Complete Piano Concertos Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Murray Perahia, ... Sony, 2006 Mozart's Complete Piano Concertos Exceptional! The first disc contains four concertoes written when Mozart was 11 years old; they are great but only a prelude to the fabulous music yet to come. I researched every credible reference I could find and they all declared that the Perahia/ECO version was the ...             Bach: Partitas Nos. 2-4 Johann Sebastian Bach, Murray Perahia Sony Classics, 2008 Exactly what you'd expect from Perhaia In my opinion, nowhere in the entire output of Johann Sebastian Bach does this very, very great composer display his mastery over counterpoint and harmony better than in the mighty six keyboard partitas. Here is keyboard composition of such stature that only the great ...             Handel/Scarlatti: Murray Perahia Plays Handel & Scarlatti George Frederick Handel, Domenico Scarlatti, ... Sony, 1997 The Master Pianist Over the years I have compiled a list of pianists I want to be sure to hear in concert before I die. At the top of the list of remaining pianists yet unheard is Murray Perahia. He is, for me, possibly the most talented, most musical, most elegant pianist before the ...             Chopin: Piano Concertos Nos.1 & 2 Frederic Chopin, Zubin Mehta, ... Sony, 1990 Magnificent Performance I recently purchased this CD through Amazon.com. For a live performance, the audio quality of this CD is superb. While I admire any musician who tries to do justice to Chopin's intricate compositions, this performance is truly magnificent. Murray Perahia's rendition ...             Murray Perahia Plays Bach Johann Sebastian Bach, Murray Perahia, ... Sony, 2003 A dazzling performance. Bravissimo! Perahia's dazzling performance culminates in the cadenza in the first movement of the Fifth Brandenburg Concerto. This superb recording stands in stark contrast with the boring antiquarian stuff of the "historically informed" performance fad that may have ...             Mozart: Concertos for Two & Three Pianos Johannes Brahms, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ... Sony, 2004             Songs Without Words Johann Sebastian Bach, Franz Liszt, ... Sony, 1999 A wonderful program of delightful and important music This disk is a bit of a rarity in modern recording. It isn't a disk of a single work or series of works. It isn't the WHOLE of the Mendelssohn "Songs Without Words". Instead it opens with four of the wonderful Busoni transcriptions of Bach organ preludes. Perahia ...             Grieg: Greatest Hits Edvard Grieg, Andrew Davis, ... Sony, 1994 Relaxes your mind. The peer gynt suite is very delicate and it relaxes me. Whenever I hear the first movement of Peer Gynt, I feel as if I am walking along the forest at dawn with sunshine passing through the tall trees. It calms me and I usually close my eyes to imagine Grieg's ...          products you might be interested in   search for classical music concertos, impromptus, mendelssohn, partitas, scarlatti, variations      geepe.com    web randomly chosen DVD: Bernard and Doris
