Bachiana (Music of the Bach Family): Double Concertos - Johann Christian Bach: Sinfonia Concertante in A ...

Johann Christian Bach, Wilhelm Friedemann Bach

Dg Imports, 2003

Good Stuff from the Bach Boys
Let's face it. There have been many of these "Sons of Bach" albums, and while they introduce us to the wealth of talent in the Bach family, they often end up just underscoring by how much Johann Sebastian's talent outstripped that of the rest of the clan. I can't say ...

Russian Fortepiano School - Lazar Berman

Franz Liszt, Lazar Berman

Melodiya, 2003

magnificent work of art
It was noted by the Soviet masters Richter and Gilels that even early in his career Lazar Berman was a outstandingly gifted, commanding, and well-developed pianist, and certainly for me these Transcendental Etudes of Franz Liszt validate those opinions. To call these ...

Mozart Piano Sonatas K. 279, K. 280, K. 281 on Fortepiano Vol. 1

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Robert Levin

RCA, 2006

Great start for a series
I would agree with the reviewer below. Levin's performances are incredibly exciting. Amusingly, in some ways, his approach is closer to Gould's than either he or the late, great Glenn would care to admit. The secco touch, the unromantic phrasing, the intensity and rude ...

Power of the Bosendorfer!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ignaz Pleyel: Music for fortepiano

Ignace Joseph Pleyel, Richard Fuller

Preiser Records, 2004

The Finest Pleyel Recording Available
As of this writing this is still the only recording of Pleyel's piano music available and presents a delightful and informative cross-section of Pleyel's style. The fortepiano used for this recording (Walter & Sohn, Vienna, 1814) is the perfect vehicle for Fuller's ...

Analekta, 2007

Wonderful
If you want performances on period instruments - and you do - this volume of two with the complete violin sonatas makes an easy choice. Natural, intimate performances - like an animated conversation between two old friends. I didn't know the performers but after ...

Ludwig van Beethoven, Giovanni Hoffmann, ...

Arts Music, 2000

Recommended for any one interested in classical mandolin, or in Beethoven's 'not so well known compositions'
This rare CD featuring works for mandolin and piano by Beethoven, Hummel, and Hoffmann is well rendered by Galfetti and Fasolis. Those interested in the classical mandolin, in Beethoven's 'not so well known compositions', and in music of the early 18th century should ...

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2005

as good as anything else Manze has done!
I have about 7 Manze discs. My favorite is the Biber. But this is pretty close. I found this disc very nice and very accessible. Why would anyone need to beware? I have no idea why the people reviewing here don't love this cd. I guess one guy liked it and one ...
