Recital at the Victoria & Albert Museum

Advantages: Cherkassky playing at his best in wide range of solo works
Disadvantages: No Godowsky included

...This is one of the best recordings of the great Romantic Virtuoso pianist, Shura Cherkassky. It showcases him at his best in a recital covering a wide range of repertoire. He is known for being wayward in some of his performances, but there is very little of that in this recital. His performances vary considerably, depending on his moods, the audience and other external factors. He was in top form at this 1982 recital and was very happy with his performance afterwards. He starts the recital with Suite de Pieces by Lully, one of the most well-known early French Baroque composers. Lully was one of the first conductors, hitting the ground with a stick.

Advantages: Great pop song, is very addictive
Disadvantages: Haven't proven themselves live

...This song is brilliant. Victoria Beckham gets a lot of stick for her role in the Spice girls but i think this proves she does have the talent. I have heard some say that they have done a lot of work to her voice but i don't think that. Dane and Victoria have great chemistry together and the match is great. The dance moves are ok too. It is a shame that they have had to mime on all the live appearances they have done, i hope that at some time they do perform it totally live. I really hope this song goes to no.1 as Victoria does deserve it for all the hard work she has done.... Read review

...Victoria Beckham, Posh Spice – has got her new single out now, which is quite good surprisingly enough. I am impressed! The only time I heard Victoria singing on her own was in the song ‘Goodbye’. Since then I’ve been eagerly waiting for her debut single to come out. Mainly to say ‘See, she can’t sing!’ but- I am wrong! Yes, that tune is gonna punish you – in a nice way. In regards to her interviewing attempts, it was amusing, it turned into a more ‘what do you think about me?’ scenario. So, yes, it’s nice to see the second spicey to have a good single. (The first one would have to be Geri)... Read review
