Excellent Playing, Good Recording...4 Bucks!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Gieseking was one the foremost pianists of his generation, although his personal reputation was ruined (rightfully) by Nazi affiliations during the 30s and 40s. Nonetheless, his work in the Beethoven sonatas is very strong and deserves respect. This disc contains several of the "name" sonatas amongst it's fare. They are extremely well played, and the sound is good for a 50's recording. ...this is very much a bargain."
Buy this CD !

"If you like the sonatas of Beethoven, you must buy this CD. Gieseking was a great pianist, and this CD contains some of the better known sonatas. I own six complete sets of the Beethoven piano sonatas from various artists, and probably 50 more individual CD's, and if I could only take one, this would be the CD. At $ 4.00, it is an absolute steal. It makes me wonder why I pay $12 to $17 for other historical performances on CD."
Great CD!
