CD Reviews

As good as you're going to get
G. Dorfman | trenton, nj | 10/30/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The other reviewer is way off base, in my opinion. I've known these recordings for 40 years and this is the best reproduction of Busoni's pianism anyone has a right to expect. Still plenty of hiss, but a real piano tone is evident, the pedaling is noticeable, and the shadings there as well. Keep the volume on high and adjust your hearing to the background sizzle and as a listener you'll be fine.

Also Egon Petri plays the the tarantella movement, (the fourth) of the Busoni piano concerto with Hans Rosbaud like a bat out of hell. Phenomenal player and great conductor. They just don't make them like that anymore; sorry. This recording is indespensable to anyone interested in the history of pianism and recorded sound. Highest recommendation. -- Geoffrey Dorfman"
