CD ReviewsA brilliant achievement by a vastly under-rated pianist. 08/17/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "Eleonora Bekova brings all her experience in chamber and song recital work to produce a brilliant recording of these masterworks by Martinu. The Fantaisie et Toccata is demanding of technique and musical vision yet Bekova handles the dissonances and rapid musical developments to produce a reading which is a triumph of eloquence and cohesion. The eight preludes run the gamut of emotional intent yet Bekova handles the jazzy numbers one and two with as much innate sense of ragtime as she measures the dark depths of number five. The Sonata is handled with lyrical virtuosity (why isn't this piece in the mainstream piano repertoire?) and the three miniatures with which Bekova finishes this disk are utterly beautiful. Wow, what a pianist! Its no surprise that Martha Argerich says she is fantastic."
