A Journey Back in Time
When I first heard that these recording by William Kapell were available I thought they might have been part of an archive found by an Australian Broadcast Corporation. The reality was a bit disappointing in that Kapell's final performances were preserved in an ...

Berlioz
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 ...

what a treat to discover this wonderful composer!
All selections on this CD just make you want to hear more from this wonderful composer. Does anyone else have TUNES like this? It is very evident that Verdi listened to a lot of Mercadante when he was writing his operas........ BUY IT!

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 ...

Frederick's Understatement.
It was 50 years ago that I met and fell in love with the accompanist at the voice studio where I studied for love of singing (i.e., mine was a modest voice). She in turn introduced me to some of the great singers then active, or who came through, Chicago. And ...
Heifetz Rediscovered (Dlx)
Jascha Heifetz
RCA, 2002
Great CD!
... The sound quality is just fine. If you have listened to any old recordings you will hear a little static. The playing is very audible and easy to listen to. Best of all, you get to hear never-before-released Heifetz recordings of the Grieg C minor Sonata, Brahms ...

KOBALTONE, 2004
This double CD is the first recording of the complete works for clarinet and piano by late-Romantic Spanish composer Julián Menéndez. It features Spanish Clarinetist Oskar Espina Ruiz who, after doing extensive scholarly research and performing numerous recitals and concertos on Menéndez, has gained a reputation as the Menéndez specialist. The ...

Burried treasure . . .
While your sitting there scratching your collective head trying to figure out who Dino Ciani is, let me tell you a few things about this amazing set. Ciani performs the 32 with a beauty that rarely seems to accompany these marvelous works of art. His dedication and ...

An Incredible Duo
I genuinely feel that Arthur Cook's playing ranks highly among the many great and venerable cellists that I've heard, and that he is easily among the very best out there right now. Gorgeous tone, unreal vibrato, tasteful yet fresh interpretation; this guy's a hidden ...

RCA, 2005
Magnificent Prokofiev
Richter played an unrivaled Prokofiev at this concert, especially the sonata No. 6 in A, Op.82. I have rarely heard him play with so much intensity, love, spontaneity, passion. The splendid remastered sound adds more grandeur to his powerful and moving performance. ...
