Greatest pianist since Godowsky
Review of The Composer-Pianists by skriabini

Advantages: Top performance of range of virtuoso piano works
Disadvantages: A little too much virtuosity to listen to all in one sitting

...of the music. This CD is highly recommended for anyone who wishes to listen to a selection of piano music by each of these composers, being performed by a living representative of this school. Hamelin has done a great service to these composers in this and other recordings, in making their music accessible and breathing new life into it. It also provides inspiration for ambitious amateur pianists, like me, who may wish to try to play some of these works. The only disappointing aspect of the selection is that there are not many slow, expressive, lyrical works. One or two works such as a slow Rachmaninov prelude, or an expressive prelude or etude by Scriabin would have been welcome. However, a very wide range of music is covered in one CD. It would be interesting to hear other outstanding pianists put together a similar set of pieces on one... Read review

A female hand, a feminine composer
Review of Chopin: Nocturnes by watchpig

Advantages: Sheer luxury of tone and sonority
Disadvantages: Can we ever have enough time for such diversity?!

...Chopin from a female hand! I'd say, if you want just one set of these nocturnes you'll do no better than shop here with this lovely lady! There are so many ways to interpret Chopin no one pianist will ever get him wired 100% but here is a very good offering from Deutsche. I previously had a set by Ashkenazy and I way prefer this: less of the thundering concert pianist and more the subtlety of a chamber recital which for me is the style Chopin himself aspired to: he constantly shunned the concert platform and was best at home in Parisian salons. Still some thunder and lightning here, tho'! Probe Chopin's inner soul in his most enigmatic, restless, vital, original, diverse dynamic set of works for solo piano. Super for the student: listen before you learn, and sublime for the classical connoisseur, I think secretly even concert... Read review

A solid collection
Review of Rachmaninov: Piano Concertos Nos 1 & 4 (Original Versions) by bae22

Advantages: Good quality collection at reasonable price
Disadvantages: Lacks the sparkle and flair of the recordings by Kissen and Argerich

...This double CD set from Decca brings together recordings of all four Rachmaninov piano concertos played by Ashkenazy and the LSO. For those people looking for a good value collection, look no further. However, I found that No. 3 was too sluggish for my liking, taking a good ten minutes longer than the Rachmaninov recording. Ashkenazy has also chosen the bold cadenza, unlike Rachmaninov himself. The playing is technically excellent, but somehow lacks the sparkle of the Kissen or Argerich recordings. This is perhaps not one for the Rachmaninov enthusiast, but excellent for anyone looking to expand their collection.... Read review
