CD Reviews

Nice piano transcriptions....lackluster performance with too

uber_neb | San Francisco, CA United States | 04/06/2006

(1 out of 5 stars)

"Robert Schultz's piano transcriptions of excellent orchestral, operatic and chamber pieces is excellent.

However, his vision is lost in translation by Faigen who seems too hurried with her lackluster performance which tends to be overshadowed by her many abrupt and sloppy key changes.

Take note of Track#14 - Canon in D, it appears 1:12 mins her attempt to build on the expressiveness of the transcriptions is interrupted with her missing the right chords.

I would seek out alternatives such as the one by Tim O'Neil. Leave this disc in the recycle bin or better yet, in the CD shredder. Very disappointed."
