Chopin: The Romantic Pianist
Fryderyk Chopin, Leif Ove Andsnes, ...
EMI Classics, 2003
A mixed collection -- some stunning, some fair
I purchased this disc to get a copy of Alexander Serdar's astonishlngly beautiful performance of the Andante Spianato and Grande Polonaise. I heard that recording on his EMI debut album which is currently out of stock, but picked this disc up in order to obtain it. I also reasoned that the other ...

Beautiful piano music!
+ Wonderful
+ Wonderful pianomusic.
This is simply an exquisite collection of beautiful piano pieces. I am very satisfied with this purchase. I can read while listening to this music-call it background music...maybe, but even when you're doing something else-the music is there...it does not intrude, but it doesn't get lost either. I ...

#1 Piano Album
No. 1 Piano Album
Decca, 2002
Pure
+ A great and daring mix of pieces performed by the best in the business!
This album has it all, believe it or not. There are loads of cheesy #1 blah blah albums that are horridly popular. Sure, there are many well-known pieces on this, such as Alla Turca, the Adagio Sostenuto of the Moonlight, Fur Elise and the Minute Waltz. But almost everything else is relatively ...

Sergei Rachmaninoff: Greatest Hits

Sony, 1994
One of the best CD I own
+ Yes
+ Great Collection of "Hits"
This is one of the best I own. The music is so great, hard to explain...so moving, especially the first track. It reminds me of Russia a lot. I listen to it everyday while driving to work. I highly recommend it.

Debussy: Piano Music
Claude Debussy, Philippe Entremont
Sony, 2003
Claude Debussy is largely responsible for my love of classical music.
+ Entremont fabulous
I work in a bookstore, and, like all large bookstores eventually get around to doing, we sell music. One day, looking to broaden my horizons, I asked a co-worker if he cared to recommend something. He handed me this disc - at $6.99, who can say no? - and I took his word for it, on the strength of ...

Gershwin Plays Rhapsody in Blue
George Gershwin
Shout Factory, 2003
"Rhapsody In Blue"
+ Historical and Pristine
"This piece (Rhapsody In Blue) seemed to sweep through my mind. It was the heart of America, the feverishness of life, the musical welter of races, of peoples, their joys and their passions, their dissipations and their exaltations." ~ George Gershwin (September 26, 1898 - July 11, 1937) ~

French Music for Harp and Strings
Bjørg Varnes, Fredrik Fors, ...
Naxos, 2001
Superb collection and performances
I vehemently disagree with the negative review entitled "flawed recording and shakey accompaniment." This is one of my favorite CDs, both because of the excellent selections and superb performances, especially by the harpist. In particular, the performance of "La fille aux cheveux de lin" exhibits ...

Van Cliburn: My Favorite Liszt
Franz Liszt, Van Cliburn
RCA, 2000
Simply breathtaking
+ Above and beyond - VanCliburn and the Liszt b minor Sonata
+ Van Cliburn's Liszt
Van Cliburn, who in 1958 became as much of a celebrity as Elvis, is one of the world's greatest ever pianists. I have never heard anyone play Liszt with so much gravity and understanding. Part of this may be because Van Cliburn's hands are so enormous, nearly as large as Liszt's. This recording ...
