CD Reviews

Bolet is outstanding

N. Tisa-Leonard | 01/22/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"There are many Liszt performers, and while Bolet was known to never substitute technical perfection for feeling, there is a great balance to his playing. 'Un Sospiro' is played on the slow side, every melody note can be heard perfectly, while his interpretation and rubato are heart stopping. While I don't agree with his Liebstraum (the honor of greatest playing is held for Cliburn on this piece, if you haven't heard him play it, go buy the CD, now), the lesser played works such as the Elf King transcription more than makes up for it. If you want a technically perfect, clear, sometimes very moving performance of Liszt, Bolet is for you (I prefer him infinitely over Cziffra, although I may be alone on that one). Postscript: Hungarian Rhapsody No. 12 is NOT No. 2, this is an error on Amazon's part, and also on the other Bolet albums, it is indeed no. 12 and not 2."

A great collection from a gifted performer.

"There's something magical in the lyricism and transparent viruosity of Bolet's playing that I don't hear in any other Lizst interpreter. His recording of the Sonata ranks with the best - and is without question my personal favorite. Now if I could only find his complete recordings of the Annees de pelerinage...."

A must for all Liszt (and piano) fans

"A great 2-CD package. Great choice of works, great playing. I'd like to hear more of Bolet's Liszt playing, that's for sure. Also, probably the best recording of the great "Sonata in B minor" ever."
