classical music: Murray Perahia     classical music:     Murray Perahia      Beethoven: The Five Piano Concertos Ludwig van Beethoven, Bernard Haitink, ... Sony, 1990 If I were to become deaf, this is what I would hear This recording is simply amazing. The way Perahia plays each note in such a way that notes no longer exist but ooze out as sugary themes piqued by sweet harmonics which in themselves become the theme, over and over again, like undulating waves upon a lake. The 3rd and ...             Schubert: Impromptus For Piano Franz Schubert, Murray Perahia Sony, 1990 OMFG! Perahia's recording of Schubert is amazing! Every track on this CD is moving, insightful, and fun. Though the only other renditions I've heard are Horowitz's 899 #4 and Brendel's 899 #3, I liked Perahia's versions more. The beginning of Perahia's 899#4 is like a nice ...             Chopin Etudes Fryderyk Chopin, Murray Perahia Sony, 2002 The musical soul of Poland ! Perhaps in no other genre Chopin opened his heart with major intensity. The introspectiveness of these pages reveal the spiritual core, composed as any human being of passion, poetic ardor, patritic flame, fevered lyricism and profound sentiment. The emotional ...             Chopin: Piano Concertos Nos.1 & 2 Frederic Chopin, Zubin Mehta, ... Sony, 1990 Magnificent Performance I recently purchased this CD through Amazon.com. For a live performance, the audio quality of this CD is superb. While I admire any musician who tries to do justice to Chopin's intricate compositions, this performance is truly magnificent. Murray Perahia's rendition ...             Mozart: Piano Concertos Nos. 21 & 27 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Murray Perahia, ... Sony, 1991 One of the best versions of one of the best pieces of music Given that the Mozart Concerto K 467 is probably my favorite piece of music I do not judge its interpretations lightly. I find the version to be sublime. Mind you my measuring stick is the Andante which must have a good balance between the bass of the orchestra and ...             Mendelssohn: Piano Concertos Felix Mendelssohn, Neville Marriner, ... Sony, 1990 A Legendary Recording There are so many things that could be said about this recording. It deserves a spot on any top 50 classical recordings list. The piece and the performance are both 5 stars. Mendelssohn is an undeservingly neglected composer. He is ususally thought of as an ...             Bach: Goldberg Variations Johann Sebastian Bach, Murray Perahia Sony, 2000 Sublime - a worthy replacement for Gould Murray Perahia takes the Goldberg Variations to new heights here, to my mind/ear even more thoughtfully, sensitively and musically than Gould, Schiff & Hewitt (yes, pretty difficult, but that's what I think is achieved here). Here we have a supreme Goldberg ...             Bach: Partitas Nos. 2-4 Johann Sebastian Bach, Murray Perahia Sony Classics, 2008 superb! I have yet to hear any of Murray Perahia's playing, whether live or recorded, which was anything less than superbly musical. His profound musicality is always what one hears, no matter the technical demands of a piece. His technique, though astonishing, is there to ...             Mozart: The Complete Piano Concertos Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Murray Perahia, ... Sony, 2006 The best, but not all there is I will just repeat all the praise from the other reviewers, it's a great, great set. HOWEVER, it doesn't have ALL Mozart's piano concertos---almost no sets do. Mozart "wrote" 3 concertos for harpsichord, collectively known as K. 107, which are actually arrangements of ...             Bach: Keyboard Concertos Nos. 1, 2 & 4 Johann Sebastian Bach, Murray Perahia, ... Sony, 2001 Sparkling Wit Of course Perhaia is a great pianist and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields is a great ensemble. But here I believe we get more than just the sum of the two. I was fortunate to hear a concert of Perhaia and St. Martin in the Fields here in Ann Arbor and they ...             Mozart: Concertos for Two and Three Pianos Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, English Chamber Orchestra, ... Sony, 1991 Mozart: Music for 2 and 3 Pianos Wow...this is a wondeful recording, plain and simple. If you haven't listened to the Fanatsia in F minor, originally for mechanical organ, then this is the recording to commence doing so with. This is a fantasic rendition of this piece, full of the darkness that ...             Schubert: Impromptus; Schubert/Liszt: Song Transcriptions Franz Schubert, Murray Perahia Sony, 2005 Presence, honesty and commitment! The presence of this promissory interpreter in the public arena has always been motive of immense approval around the world. Perahia is not only a formidable pianist, he is a musical thinker, and that is why every one of his recordings are always welcome, because they ...             Chopin: 4 Ballades / Perahia Frederic Chopin, Murray Perahia Sony, 1995 A virtuoso performance The Ballades are played with technical flawlessness, energy, and brilliance. However, in some passages his playing seems to lack sufficient emotion. Perhaps some would consider this restraint and dispassionateness a virtue. But I tend to favor a more Rachmaninoffian ...             Handel/Scarlatti: Murray Perahia Plays Handel & Scarlatti George Frederick Handel, Domenico Scarlatti, ... Sony, 1997 The Master Pianist Over the years I have compiled a list of pianists I want to be sure to hear in concert before I die. At the top of the list of remaining pianists yet unheard is Murray Perahia. He is, for me, possibly the most talented, most musical, most elegant pianist before the ...             Bach: English Suites Nos. 2, 4 & 5 / Perahia Johann Sebastian Bach, Murray Perahia Sony, 1999 Perahia understands Bach. A compelling and sparkling recording, that captivates and grows on you, like all good Bach interpretations. Although not on a harpsichord, Perahia fully masters and comprehends the "authentic" creative world of JS Bach. Unlike some Gould extravaganzas, the ...          products you might be interested in   search for classical music concertos, impromptus, mendelssohn, scarlatti, transcriptions, variations      toavi.com    web randomly chosen DVD: Get Carter
