Liszt: Transcendental Studies
Franz Liszt, Leslie Howard

Hyperion UK, 1993

It's me again
Okay, a year or so has gone by since my short first review. In that time, I compared Leslie Howard's playing of the Transcendental Etudes to several other players. I still think that, pound for pound, Leslie Howard's performance is the best. Sure, Bolet and Arrau play ...

The Romantic Piano Concerto, Vol. 2
Ferdinand Hiller, Henry Litolff, ...

Vox (Classical), 1992

A cavern filled with treasures!
Ignaz Moscheles'piano concert is a hit. I still wonder since the first day I listened why its an underrated work? This concert is loaded with a lyricism , expressiveness , and honest spirit : Its a romantic concert , but it's much more than simply that issue. You feel ...
  
  











  



  
Gustav Leonhardt Jubilee Edition
Harry van der Kamp, Anner Bylsma, ...

Sony Bmg Europe, 2008

What a Price!
FIFTEEN CDs for $34.98, or a good deal less! I repeat, what a price! I almost overlooked this Jubilee Edition, thinking it contained a few re-released recordings that I'd have on vinyl anyway. But this is too good a deal to ignore, virtually a career retrospective on ...
  
  











  



  
Herold - La Fille Mal Gardee; Lecocq - Mam'zelle Angot
Louis Joseph Ferdinand Herold, Charles Lecocq, ...

Decca Eloquence (Australia), 2007

Amusing, Unknown Ballet
To be honest, before I had purchased I had not heard of neither the ballet nor the composer. The Penguin Guide had highy recommended this recording, so I gave it a shot. The CD is fantastic. The ballet revolves around, as the title implies, a girl who is not ...
  
  











  



  
The Harmonious Blacksmith: Favourite Harpischord Pieces
Johann Sebastian Bach, Claude-Beninge Balbastre, ...

Polygram Records, 1990

Pinnock cracker
This is still one of the finest harpsichord recordings you can buy as an introduction to the harpsichord. In 1984 this was one of the first recordings that was released on cd instead vinyl (perhaps that was the reason it was recorded all the way in Japan?). Great ...
  
  











  



  
Liszt: Piano Music Vol. 10
Franz Liszt, Jeno Jando

Naxos, 1998

Liszt - The romantic Romantic
Volume 10 of the Complete Piano Music of Liszt series is a high-quality release from the Naxos label. Most Lisztophiles out there have had to rely on Leslie Howard's recordings from the Hyperion label. Thankfully, Naxos is following the model of Hyperion by presenting ...

Alfredo d' Ambrosio, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Testament UK, 2004

Those were times of Titans!
Testament label has made an epic effort, just imagine what it means to listen these colossus of the instrument like Joachim, Ysaye (an intimate musical partner of Pablo Casals) , the legendary Don Pablo de Sarasate (to whom Eduard Lalo dedicated his world famous ...
  
  











  



  
French Bonbons
Georges Bizet, Emmanuel Chabrier, ...

Chandos, 1996

Incredible musicianship, beautiful arrangements . . .
When I first heard this group in the movie, "Brassed Off," my first thought was "Who *ARE* these guys??" My exposure to brass bands had been in high school (some 35 years ago), and more recently in the drum-and-bugle corps competitions televised periodically on PBS. ...

Bach: St. Matthew Passion
Hermann Schey, William Ravelli, ...

Naxos, 2004

A major addition to the Naxos Historical Catalogue.
Amongst the vast legacy of recordings from Mengelberg's Amsterdam years, this one had until now eluded me. Well, the wait was worthwhile! I doubt that the St Matthew Passion recording, wonderfully vivid for 1939, has ever sounded as well as in this 2004 remastering ...
  
  











  



  
The Art of Fritz Wunderlich
August Messthaler, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2005

I wish I could give this release more than 5 stars: it's terrific!!!
I knew little about the German tenor Fritz Wunderlich (1930-1966), except reading the accolades given to his recordings and performances by reviewers in "American Record Guide" over the past 13 years. I knew Wunderlich recorded the role of Tamino in the famous DG ...
