CD Reviews

Yesterday Francois would be celebrating his eighty-two anniv

Hiram Gomez Pardo | Valencia, Venezuela | 05/19/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Samson Francois figure has evidenced slow but increasing enhancement through the years. His notable pianism, aristocratic approach and refined phrasing are some of his virtues.

If you still do not know about this legendary artist, no it? s the time for you to convince by yourself about the supreme level occupied by him.

When he left us in 1970 at his 46, he had so much to give. The musical world remained legitimately orphan and much more vile since his premature death.

But, fortunately his legacy will live among us, every time you listen any record you acquire of this peerless musician.

His Ravel is loaded not only of notable, sensual and asserive expressiveness. If you know about some other performance able to equal his Gaspard de la nuit, please, be my guest.

His Debussy is sober, eloquent with Impresionist flair and sublime musicality.

A true artistic and a fundamental treasure in your collection."

Excellent playing, terrible audio from EMI

C. Stern | Chapel Hill, NC USA | 01/24/2009

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The playing of Samson Francois and the music of Debussy and Ravel together are spectacular. However, the audio in this particular EMI box set is over-processed, resulting in a dry, unnatural sound. At first, it's not obvious (you'll be thinking, "wow, this is great music, and great playing!") -- but eventually, your ears will start to hurt. I can't give Samson + Ravel & Debussy anything less than 4 stars, but, really -- DON'T BUY THIS BOX SET. Get a different version of the same recordings. EMI clearly does this a lot, judging by the reviews of the Schnabel/Beethoven."

The Best Ravel EVER.

Ray E. Simmons III | Boston | 11/30/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I first heard Samson Francois play Ravel on an old phonograph record and

was amazed at his interpretation. When I bought this collection it became

one of my all time favorites. The emotion and feeling he puts into the

music along with his technical skill never cease to amaze me. The only down

side is the recording quality. It is a bit weak. I can overlook that with

the stellar performances. Buy this set and you will not be disappointed.
