CD Reviews

An Adroit . . . Brilliant Performer!!!
Jason A. Newman | USA | 07/07/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"If this CD were to cost what it's worth . . . it would be a priceless relic to be played only for a few chosen ears. Her music-and it is her music, Mr. Bach-is to the ear's mind's eye what oxygen is to the lungs . . . you'll wonder how you ever lived without it."
Silly transfer of historical performance
Jason A. Newman | 03/19/2001
(1 out of 5 stars)

"If you want a recording of this historical recording of Landowska's Goldberg Variations, you may want to shell out about three bucks more and get the new transfer on EMI. In fact, that is just about the only option, for the transfer on this disc is simply silly. The sound quality is awful--worse than EMI's first transfer onto CD. And the way they cut the tracks--the Aria leads straight into the first variation, for only a few bars, however. Then this "first track" ends with a pause, and the second track starts with the first variation--starting all over again. Not very careful, were they?"
