Amazing Appassionata

Oldnslow | Seattle, Washington USA | 08/24/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This performance of two Beethoven sonatas recorded before a live audience in a castle in Germany by pianist Lilya Zilberstein is incredible in two respects. First, the Appassionata is played as well as anyone I know, including the many legends of the keyboard who have recorded this masterpiece. Zilberstein has it all--technique, style, and passion. Equally remarkable is the sound. This is the best sounding recording of a piano I have ever heard--it must be heard to be believed, and if you are lucky to have a fine sound system you are in for a stupendous aural treat. This recording is expensive ($25), and perhaps hard to find, and is short measure as the CD includes only the early Opus 2, no.2 sonata as filler. But if you love the Appassionata and wish to hear a magnificant performance in otherwordly fidelity I urge you to track this CD down before it becomes unavailable."
