CD Reviews

Old Magicians at large

09/01/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a fun CD. These repertoires have become more "politically incorrect" among musicians today, but I had one of the most enchanting hour from listening to these old pianistic magicians. It is a similar feeling to eating all the delicious desserts full of "unhealthy" things. One should never look for sublime intellectualism in these pieces. They don't pretend to be a masterwork and why not? The world will be a terribly boring place if only the greatest masterworks are to be played. Fortunately, these great pianists thought so too, and they are "cooking" some delicious desserts with their enormous talents. And how colorful and different they are! Even aristocratic Rachmaninoff and Lhevine are having fun here. And cheers to those wonderful transcribers as well. The recorded sound is pretty old (with the exception of the Bolet track), but exhilarant quality of performances wins over the quality of recording. People who loves great pianists of the past should grab this CD while it is around!"
