Stunning.......2004-01-16

Lesser known Janacek at bargain price.......2002-08-24

Great addition to the library.......2002-06-13

Enter Mikhail Rudy, who continues this happy tradition, not without some issues. The Sonata 1.X.1905 is first up on the CD dedicated to the solo piano works; the tempi are in a good midrange for projecting the scope and meaning of this intense music, the range of dynamics is superb, and his phrasing is glorious. This is technically very awkward music, by the way. The only complaint I have is that he does not observe some of the microscopic, but crucial rests that Janacek notated in the second movement. (To be fair, Firkusny doesn't either.)

Next up is V Mlhách (In the Mist), which the writer of this review played during his time at Oberlin Conservatory. In Rudy's hands, the first movmeent flows beautifully, with a little bit of physical resistance felt in the rubato; the second movement could, again, benefit from a closer look at Janacek's rests; the third movement is glorious, mournful and sentimental without going over the edge; unfortunately, it does not end well, as the fourth movement is very loud, brittle and harsh, and the melodic line is often broken to the point that it is unrecognizable. Even when played smoothly, it is still the hardest of the four to hold together, and it really does not help that Rudy bangs through it.

One failed movement does not ruin the album, though. This is major addition to the Janacek library.
