Leontyne Price
RCA, 2002
Masterful Recital Performance From Price at Her Peak
World-renowned soprano Leontyne Price can be an intimidating presence on any stage but not on this live concert recording. She lends a warm, lovely presence and of course, her unparalleled voice, to this eclectic program, which amazingly at the age of 38, represented ...

Bolet and Liszt
First of all, it is impossible to describe in words what you hear in music. The more profound the interpretation, the less likely you can explain it in words, but this is my attempt. Although Bolet released several CDs of Liszt music; most prominently the double CD on ...

He does what he does!
While listening to this recital I kept thinking of a comment a friend made after attending a Horowitz recital (possibly this very one). I called him and naively asked if it was a good recital. He informed me that Horowitz's playing has nothing whatever to do with ...

Are There Still More?
When I first listened to this recording (it came two days ago) I thought that Kapell's sound was agressive, (it is), he rushed (he does) and that his sense of proportion was often out of whack with what's really going on (sometimes it definitely is). But when all was ...

Richter in America - historical, masterful
When Emil Gilels toured the U.S. in 1955 his response to critics who raved about his performances is said to have been: "Wait until you hear Richter!" Now that's gallantry. Only in May 1960 was Richter allowed to tour outside of the Soviet block, and it was no further ...

Bloody amazing
I agree with the staff reviewer - technique superb, but lacking a bit of the soul he would find later. Still, a great find, and an invaluable addition to this sterling musician's voluminous discography.

Philips, 2007
These period Berlioz performances are superb
English conductor Roger Norrington had just completed his assault on Beethoven's Symphonies and Piano Concertos, recording them on period instruments in the 1980's and revealing that he had just two speeds: Fast and "Captain, you're gonna explode the warp core!" The ...

Magnificent
Some years ago I met an elderly gentleman who'd served as a co-pilot on a B-24 bomber during WWII. During a raid on a North German site their aircraft was badly damaged and they were forced to crash-land it in Sweden. The shaken but uninjured crew was picked up by the ...

Debussy Rediscovered
Outstanding rendition of previously unrecorded pieces by Debussy, as well as some favorites (Clair d'Lune, for example). The music is lush, full and played faultlessly. Hats off to Emil de Cou and the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra. Here's hoping we'll hear more from ...
