CD Reviews

Superb Interpretations of Chopin

Kurt Garrett | Dallas, TX USA | 11/02/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I had seriously underestimated Chopin's abilities as a composer until the virtuosity of this CD forced me to reconsider my position. Dowling plays with unabashed affection, both for the music and his chosen instrument. Having heard him perform various etudes in the recital hall, I can honestly say that his readings of Chopin can stand beside those of Artur Rubenstein and Emmanuel Ax. Now, if only he would interrupt his concertizing long enough to record the Liszt B-Minor Sonata . . ."

THIS GUY KNOWS THE PIANO

"I was astonished the first time that my piano teacher took my to see Richard. He was excellent, he doesn't just play the piano for money, but he plays it because he really likes to share his music and he knows that it should be heard. I can't wait untill he comes out with his other two cd's in 2001!"
