Not Her Best

John Atherton | CINCINNATI, OHIO United States | 12/06/2004

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Nikolayeva was a towering musician. She gloried in the burnished tone and noble, long lines that the Russians came to appreciate so much in Cliburn's playing, and that were exemplified by Gilels. Don't fail to hear her Bach, her Tchaikovsky 1st with Masur and, of course, her Shostakovich.

But Nikolayeva's Beethoven is best preserved in the Olympia series, which was recorded live and in her prime. Unfortunately these studio recordings -- her last -- while ruminative and touching for admirers, show a marked falling off in vitality."
