CD Reviews

Ax's interpretation of Vallee d'Obermann is exquisite!

05/20/1999

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I have never heard a more satisfying rendition of Vallee d'Obermann. Emanuel Ax builds a carefully crafted journey via his careful phrasings and tonal beauty.The Verdi Paraphrases are a gem. A rare find.This CD was recorded with SBM, Sony's 20 bit mapping. Turn the bass down (especially those with vacuum tube tuners) to get the best sound."
