Anything that starts off with Shura Cherkassky's delicious account of a Tango by Albéniz has got to have something going for it, and this set seems to score over and over again. It's an interesting piece of programming, since having got off to a Spanish start, we are led through Bach (traditionally the starter), Balakirev (his famously unplayable Islamey thrown off coolly by Julius Katchen), Bartók, Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Debussy, Gershwin, Gottschalk, Granados, Grieg, and Handel. One thing they certainly all have in common is the passion of the title, and they are well served by our guides, who include Tureck, Kempff, Kocsis, Lill, Barenboim, Argerich, Michelangeli, De Larrocha, Gilels, and Gavrilov. It is worth mentioning so many, since these are top names in their respective fields and it gives an indication of what you can expect from this set. And while you would rightly expect veteran Spanish pianist Alicia de Larrocha to give us the full treatment in Albéniz and Granados, listen to her delightful piece of Handel, which concludes the set. Recordings range in time from 1955 to 1998, and the freshness of the playing transcends changes in recording technology during those years. --Keith Clarke

5 out of 5 stars Great Classical Piano.......2005-08-04

I picked up this CD because it had some of my favorite piano pieces of Bach, Brahms and Bartok on it.

The renditions on these discs are terrific. And every single selection is really worth listening to- this is some of the best classical piano out there. If you're like me and aren't really concerned about owning the complete Bach, Brahms, Chopin, etc, this is the disc to pick up for a good sampling of it all.

And it's a good value too. Two discs for the price of one!

    5 out of 5 stars "Must have" disc for all Brahms lovers.......2003-07-24

    Vera Breheda's recording of the 8 Piano Pieces Op. 76 conveys all their romance and tenderness, from the essentially intimate pieces which the composer calls "intermezzi", to the fiery and passionate ones to which he gives the deceptive title "Caprices". These last have all the breathtaking sweep and virtuosity one could desire without becoming mere virtuoso display. The subtleties of Brahms' thought are clothed in the most enchanting sounds, from dreamy repose the utmost fervour and agitation... The recorded sound is warm and spacious. The earlier Handel Variations round out the disc. These were apparently taken from a live performance and although the sound is less pristine, Breheda's performance is no less convincing, both emotionally and intellectually. This is a "must have" disc for all Brahms-lovers.

    This two-disc set includes the complete contents of Etelka Freund's Remington LP of Brahms piano music, a great collector's item. She knew the composer well. Even at 80, Freund had the power and dexterity to give an amazing performance of the difficult sonata, storming through its most virtuosic passages in a thrilling fashion. The remaining recordings come from broadcasts, and they are variable in sound quality, none of them too great. But it's fascinating to hear Freund playing music by her longtime friend Bartók, plus more Brahms, Bach, and Liszt. She was one of the greatest pianists you've never heard of, and we're lucky to have her recordings. -- Leslie Gerber

    5 out of 5 stars A friend of Brahms who remained true to his style.......1999-09-05

    Etelka Freund was an original. Most of these recordings were made in the latter part of her life under less than optimal circumstances. Having them readily available is truly a special and guilty pleasure for me. Her older brother was a good friend of Brahms who brought her into the composer's circle, and Brahms rightfully admired her playing. This lends a particular authority to there performances, which are very different from those of Backhaus, for example. The nimbleness of her fingers and the speeds at which she plays are stunning, especially for an 80 year-old in performance. Listen to this album -- you won't be disappointed. For me it is one of the gems in the Pearl catalog.
