CD Reviews

First rate playing, captures the spirit

Samuel T. Thornton | 01/01/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have had this CD for a long time, and listened to it several times. More recently, I have compared it with a version by Alfred Brendel (an older one, from 1961 on the Brilliant set). I have also listened to a few other interpretations. Overall, I find Barenboim's redition very satisfying. It is finely expressive, the notes are clearly heard, and the commentary in the expanatory notes is also very good. It seems to me that Barenboim has a great feel for the composition, and what it has to say. He may not be the world's greatest pianist, but he brings a musical interpretation to this that is often lacking, showing the work for what it is rather than showing off a technique."
