CD Reviews

A Perahia gem beautifully restored
02/12/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Like many others in this series, this is a gem from the Columbia Masterworks back catalogue, beautifully restored and presented in this DSD transfer onto SACD. This late era analogue recording has excellent frequency response and dynamic range, and there is virtually no tape hiss. As in other recordings of this period from Columbia, there is a clearly articulated stereo image, which comes out vividly on this transfer.As for the performances, little needs to be said, other than the fact that they are already established classics in the Mozart concerto repertoire. If you love Mozart and don't have it, get it; if you already have it, and want to hear it as never before, get it."
Piano concertos 20 and 27
Philip Greenspun | Cambridge, MA USA | 08/26/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)

"The Amazon catalog folks neglect to point out that this disk contains piano concerti #20 and #27. The master tapes date from 1978 and 1980 and are clean and without hiss. I give the disk 4 stars because the material is so familiar, the disk is only single-layer (i.e., it won't play in a regular CD player like the Telarc or Hyperion SACDs), and Sony has hardly bothered to make any new recordings for this format. But if you have an SACD player and you want to listen to Mozart piano concertos 20 and 27, this is your disk..."
Warhorses are still great music!
John L. Anderson | Lynchburg, VA United States | 01/05/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)

".... These are two beautiful compositions, that have been beautifully performed and beautifully recorded and beautifully rendered in the SACD format. Get this disc and any other SACD titles your heart desires, whether it's a recording of a warhorse or not. It's still great music and it will still move you."
