      5 out of 5 stars Magnificent pianism, astonishingly good remastering.......1999-05-30

      These performances have been available on various labels, and are among the very best performances of each of the pieces. I venture to say that Moiseiwitsch's Hungarian Fantasia, with C. Lambert conducting, is THE best recorded version I know (and I know about ten). But in each case, on this new APR disc, Bryan Crimp's remastering is astonishingly good.

      The Liszt on this CD, which I have been playing over and over again, has an incredible sonority, revealing the delicacy and complexity both of the music and the pianism which is only partly heard on the Koch-Swann. (Although I must say that the Koch-Swann, out of print but often available on the second-hand and cut-out market, combines the Liszt with Moiseiwitsch's grand Beethoven Emperor Concerto, again one of the very best performances there is.) M.'s playing in the Grieg is almost as good, delicate and passionate. In general, if you want superb remastering, you won't ever go wrong with APR -- Appian Publications and Recordings (which will soon have a website). Nor will you hardly ever go wrong with a Moiseiwitsch performance of ... anything. By the way, if like me you love Moiseiwitsch, you will probably also love the English pianist Solomon. APR has some grand Solomon performances (so does Testament), and will be issuing more soon. And if you love the Emperor Concerto, get the inexpensive EMI box of Solomon doing Beethoven concertos; he too has a magnificent touch.

      5 out of 5 stars Fabulous!.......2000-08-11

      These are great performances. Moiseiwitsch plays with so much color and personality, supported by effortless technique and peerless musicianship. Schumann is nobility personified, with many interesting, individualistic touches. Second movement is especially intimate. Beauty of tone is always maintained, even in thundering fortissimos. The Grieg is my favorite version of this much-played concerto. Moiseiwitsch's sensitive pianissimos are used with wonderous care. And at the same time, he could rise to thunderous climax of the last movement without ever straining his tone production. Both concerti are beautifully supported by Ackermann.

      This CD concludes with 3 short pieces, played with exquisite taste.
