How much we miss
Normally we build our library on the classics and the buy another version, and another. That is fine, it allows you to compare lectures and is very interesting. On the down side we miss music like the one in this CD. It is a jewel. Sometimes is difficult to remember ...
Shostakovich: 24 Preludes and Fugues, Op. 87
Dmitry Shostakovich
, Konstantin Scherbakov
Naxos, 2001
A Twentieth Century Piano Masterwork
Dmitry Shostakovich (1906-1975) is best-known for his symphonies and for his difficult political life in the former Soviet Union. Between 1950-1951, while his work was under a performance ban, Shostakovich composed a work for solo piano, the "24 Preludes and Fugues" ...
Godowsky: Schubert Transcriptions

The Schubert Transcriptions are Well Done
All the music here is based on music of Schubert and all but one of the pieces is a fairly straightforward transcription of his music by pianist/composer Leopold Godowsky (1870-1938). But the big piece here is the Passacaglia which is a twenty-minute original work ...

Scherbakov a top pick in this repertoire
Stellar CD by virtuoso Scherbakov, and a bargain to boot. Must buy this disc.

The Godowsky Renaissance Continues
For many years the piano compositions of Polish-American pianist/composer Leopold Godowsky (1870-1938) languished in obscurity, rarely played or recorded. There was always interest among cognoscenti and among pianists who loved exploring corners of the modern piano ...
Domenico Scarlatti: Complete Keyboard Sonatas, Vol. 7
Domenico Scarlatti
, Konstantin Scherbakov
Naxos, 2005
Sixteen Scarlatti Sonatas.
Hailed at a Lucerne Festival as a modern Rachmaninov and with an equally phenomenal piano technique, Konstantin Scherbakov gives his attention here to some of the sparer, gently rustling keyboard works of Domenico Scarlatti. Indeed, some of the sonatas he has chosen ...
Beethoven Symphonies Nos. 1-9 Transcribed by Liszt [Box Set]
Franz Liszt
, Konstantin Scherbakov
Naxos, 2006
Great price for an amazing box set of Liszt transcriptions
Liszt's task was enormously difficult to reduce all nine of Beethoven's Symphonies to the level of a single piano and to make this possible for just ten fingers. Absolutely amazing! To make the piano sound as an orchestra would be an illusion and unreachable for any ...
Naxos First 15 Years 1987-2002
First Fifteen Years
Naxos, 2002
wide array - all good
Naxos is one of the few music labels that I think of as a distinct label, they have a distinct "flavor". Naxos eschews popular classiscal artists, knowing that there are talented artists, virtually unknown, who can deliver intense performances. With good sound ...

For the classical generalist.
If you are looking to stock your classical musical shelves with a broad range of recognizable pieces, then this disc is for you. Otherwise, this album is not that great. Essentially it consists of the overplayed classical standards that happen to be Polish. If you ...

Bach transcribed -- and transfigured
Purists, avaunt! Godowsky's transcribed violin sonatas are remarkably free and imaginative with Bach's originals -- they add chunks of new material, revise tempos, etc etc. They go much further than even a work like the Busoni transcription of the d minor Chaconne. ...
Franz Liszt: Beethoven Symphonies 7 & 8 (Piano Transcriptions)
Franz Liszt
, Konstantin Scherbakov
Naxos, 2006
Liszt's Titanic "Seventh" and "Eighth"
For Lisztians and collectors who relish their Cyprien Katsaris recording(s) (Beethoven/Liszt: Symphonies Nos. 1-9), this release may not be worth buying. Katsaris is simply indomitable because his recording presents the Liszt piano transcriptions with extra doubling ...
