Tchaikovsky: Trio, Op. 50 / Brahms: Trio, Op. 40
Antonio Meneses, Johannes Brahms, ...

Capitol, 1994

Nadja - enough said
Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg is quite possibly the best live musician of our time. Maybe ever. The violin is the most expressive instrument there is. Any recording with her is more than worth having. I know some have said that she is too "aggressive". I call it passion, ...
  
  











  



  
Schumann: Carnaval/Papillons/Toccata
Robert Schumann, Cecile Licad

Sony, 1990

A breathtaking interpretation of Schumann
Miss Licad plays Schumann's "Carnaval" with conviction. Every single note she plays seems to convey meaning and color. It is a pleasure to listen to her wide dynamic range and exquisitely colored phrasing. This is highly intellectual, but by no means mechanical, ...
  
  











  



  
Piano Greatest Hits, Vol. 3
Franz Liszt, Felix Mendelssohn, ...

Louis Moreau Gottschalk: Piano Music
Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Cecile Licad

Naxos American, 2003

A very powerful performance
June 7, 2003 This is a very powerful performance by Licad, the first in a long while. I had a chance to compare her recording with an earlier recording of Gottschalk's piano works by another (relatively unknown) pianist, and I must say that the latter recording ...
  
  











  



  
Complete Beethoven Edition, Vol. 14: Misc. Chamber Works
Andre Sennedat, Milan Turkovic, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1997

The "Unknown" Beethoven...
I think it would not be wrong to say that most casual listeners of classical music know Beethoven mostly by his orchestral works--the symphonies, piano concertos, violin concerto, and overtures. Those who go a little deeper might know him by the piano sonatas, violin ...
  
  











  



  
Saint-Saëns: Concertos
Lorin Maazel, Andre Previn, ...

Sony, 1991

Bargain-priced magic
This CD is fantastic! All three concertos are very enjoyable and expertly played. The cello concerto and the violin concerto are great, but our favourite is the piano concerto, which sounds like it has a great first movement, no middle movement and 2 finales! If you ...
  
  











  



  
Chopin: Greatest Hits
Frederic Chopin, André Previn, ...

Sony, 1994

Fantastic!!
Frederic Chopin is a very talented artist and composer. A must have of any Chopin collector.
  
  











  



  
Saint-Saëns: Greatest Hits
Yo-Yo Ma, Michel Arrignon, ...

Sony, 1995

Astounding!!!
I have come accross very few CD's that have 74 minutes of music that I enjoy. This CD is one of those. Mason Jones does a great job on Morceau, everyone likes danse bachannalle, the piano concerto is great, it's just a really enjoyable CD to own. I recommend it ...
  
  











  



  
Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2 / Rhapsody On A Theme of Paganini

Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto No. 2, Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini (Debut Recording of Cecile Licad, piano)
Rachmaninoff, Cecile Licad, ...

Sony, 1990

An Amazing Revelation
After years of searching for perspectives on the dimensions of this work, I finally settled in 1973 on Vladimir Ashkenazy's version as being the most passionate and fulfilling. Even Rachmaninov himself seemed stilted and disconnected from its spirituality. But now in ...

Tchaikovsky: Trio, Op. 50; Brahms: Trio, Op. 40
Antonio Meneses, Johannes Brahms, ...

Angel Records, 2005

PASSION
I own many recordings of these two sublime Trios; they are two of my very favorite chamber works. I find this recording to be the most passionate of any recording that I own. Listen to the last movement of the Tchaikovsky. In that movement these performers start that ...
  
  











  



  
Cecile Licade Performs Chopin
Frederic Chopin, Cecile Licad

Music Masters Jazz, 1995

A fine Chopin solo recording
I love this recording by Licad as much as I loved her Chopin Piano Concerto No. 2 recording almost 20 years ago. I agree with the first two reviewers that Licad's recordings must be made more available. I also would love to see her making more recordings, but she ...
  
  











  



  
Cecile Licad Performs Chopin, 1995

Superb
Cecile Licad plays the Ballade in g- Op. 23, Scherzo in Bb- and the 12 Etudes. I denominate as 'artist' those who have not only virtuosity but musicality. Let me say this as restrainedly as I can and as concise as possible. Cecile Licad is a great artist. She has ...
