CD Reviews

Parts of it LAME

"One thing that really pissed me off with this album is how Michel Beroff does his own thing and does NOT follow the tempo markings. People think "oh whatever the heck I feel is the tempo" but it takes away from the character of a piece. For example in "Les cinq doigts" he plays the Lento as an Allegro and everything else the same fast tempo. It makes everything this loud and fast music when there's much more personality in this master gem that Stravinsky composed.



Most of the CD sounds very mechanical, and if any character in his playing it's very one-sided. Does not do Stravinsky's strong compositional personality justice."
A cult recording!

"Since its immediate release in the times of the reminded LP format, the close affinity between Michel Beroff and Seiji Ozawa was a distinction seal and a successful welcome for Stravinsky' works for piano.



Beroff exhibites an accurate balance between expression and audacious contrasts of tunes what it fits admirably in this occasion. Despite of the fact I am not a devoted fan of Ozawa, I must acknowledge and even thank this remarkable effort of a long time ago expected collaboration between soloist and conductor.



A must-have.
