CD Reviews

Simply breathtaking

B. Fulton | The Great American West | 09/10/1998

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Maurizio Pollini may have nailed every nuance of this music to technical perfection in his late '70s recordings for Deutsche Grammophon, but only the late British pianist Solomon imbues these sonatas with transcendent vision. The honor of listening to music this fine is akin to holy communion with Beethoven himself. Not to be missed."

A Final Testament for Two...

c-vert@juno.com | Virginia | 11/24/1999

(4 out of 5 stars)

"For those looking for the "Last Word" in solo piano repertoire: LvB's final half-dozen sonatas on his favorite instrument, recorded by British pianist Solomon (nee Cutner) between 1951-1956, just before his own career-ending stroke. To those who think Sviatoslav Richter's "TEMPEST" and Rudolf Serkin's "MOONLIGHT" and "PATHETIQUE" are definitive: so too are these. With only minor sound issues (a small edit blip towards the end of Sonata No.31 and Mono sound in general) these performances transfix more than all the others (Brendel, Kempff, Pollini, Hess) I have experienced. Listen to No.32 and... The End."

A Hammerklavier Like No Other

Mark Tabla | St. George, UT USA | 10/11/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If your looking for a "Hammerklavier" to add to your library, you can't go wrong with this one. This release won Gramophone Magazine's award for remastering of historical material and justly so. I've listened to this one again and again over the past few years and I never grow tired of it. An excellent buy."
