Customer Reviews:

Great composers need great performers.......2007-01-12

Chopin is one of the brightest composers for solo piano works. Unfortunately, only a handful of performers are able to do justice to his music, bright, deep and heroic, in contrast with an undeserved reputation of lightness. Berezovski's performance is fascinating from beginning to end. His impeccable technique is only used to enhance the brilliance of these Studies, presumably written after Chopin's encounter with Paganini and only played by virtuosos. When I start playing this CD, I have to listen till the end because this is breathtaking.

Great recording!.......2006-03-20

Another reviewer already gave so much information, actually almost anything you need to know about this pianist and this album. I am just going to add something short. This is a great recording!! Comparing with Berezovsky's previous CD of complete Chopin Etudes (which is also great!), this one is more spontaneous and dramatic (this album is recorded live, so, naturally, there is more 'risk-taking' element in it). Comparing with Hamelin's complete Godowsky transcriptions (which is very impressive, as well), Berezovsky's version, at least to me, is more musical and has wider range of color and expression.

I have been a big fan of Berezovsky since his triumph at the Tchaikovsky competition, and you know what, he only gets better!

Five Excellent Pianists and a Feast of Musical Delights!.......2005-12-29

The Miami International Piano Festival of Discovery is well named: this two CD set offers fresh young talent in a variety of music played with all the drama of a competition. It is very well recorded and contains some truly magical moments.

There are five pianists represented here and their choices of competition entries in many ways helps define their abilities and musicality. Piotr Anderszewski offers the Bartok Opus 6 Bagatelles, electing to explore all 14 of these little pieces to keep with the unity of Bartok's conception. They are models of clean definitive performances. Denis Burstein on the other hand selects various works by Scriabin, Rachmaninov, Medtner, and Taneyev showing his penchant for the obscure as well as the well known. Kemal Gekic programs Scarlatti with Liszt and Rachmaninov and offers valid stances on each. Ilya Itin opts of an all Rachmaninov collection from the lovely 'Vocalize' through six of the Preludes. Francesco Libetta closes with paraphrases on Chopin by Godowsky and works by Debussy, Saint-Saens and Alkan.

Of interest the pianist who has become most popular with the public since this 2000 year competition is Piotr Anderszewski, but from the experience of listening to the entire group, one would expect more will come from the other four, too! A delightful set of recordings. Grady Harp, December 05

Miraculous.......2002-02-13

Grante's insights into Godowsky's mazelike world offers the most detailed attention to counterpoint, revealing with spectacular finish, sparkling clarity and a daredevil mechanism innumerable details of voicings that the composer expressly sought, as can be evidenced by an acute study of these scores. These performances succeed further by their executant's rhythmic characterization, where he pushes, pulls, teases if never actually seduces melodic lines and inner voices, intuitively emphasizing subtle dissonances and their resolutions for their intrinsic emotional value. Never does Grante impress upon the listener a need to impress through his mechanism, which is in any case perfect in its precision, velocity, and most importantly its direction by the most acutely perceptive listening apparatus. Grante's pearly clarity and stunning ease of execution alone are worth the price of admission, and the whole is an astounding accomplishment of concentration, poise and authority.

(No title)........2000-12-15

Godowsky's 53 studies on Chopin's etudes are considered to be amongst the most taxing piano pieces ever written. On this disc, Ian Hobson does remarkably well in sorting out the myriad of polyphonic lines, juxta-position of complex rhythmic patterns--showing the listener that every note has its place and reason, and nothing is excessive, which it can easily seem in the hands of a lesser pianist. He does an admirable job of keeping a firm hold on the melodic line, but he is not perfect. Athough keeping his cool in his valiant, intriguing, and poetic efforts among these Herculian monstrosities, he can sometimes lack fluency. When this disc was first out, it served as a first release for many of the featured selections, and their performances have since faired quite well among increasing standards. Sound is good, if a bit boxy.

A great new piano played by a lesser known master.......2004-12-31

I wish David Stanhope were as well known as the man who bought the first of these monster pianos, Rowen Atkinson, a.k.a. Mr. Bean, alias Black Adder. This 2.9 meter, 97 key, four on the floor (pedals) aircraft carrier is the Stuart & Sons concert grand. Stanhope puts the mighty Stuart through its paces on this one. And mighty like a rose, not just power. These are difficult and lovely selections, rarely performed, all linked to more popular pieces; and yet genuine in their own right.

(No title)........2000-12-07

The pianist here, David Stanhope, claims to only 'occasionally finds time to practice the piano.' How blessed he is then, with the natural ability to tackle and conquer some of the most formidable peaks of the virtuoso repertoire with an ease and grandeur that brings shame and bewilderment to even the most celebrated pianists. One notable instance, the Godowsky Passacaglia, which Horowitz gave up in despair, claiming he needed at least six hands to perform it. And what a massive and masterly aplomb Stanhope brings to the work, especially in the final pages; although it seems to lack in some of the mind-numbing inspiration apparent in Carlo Grante Music & Arts recording. The Busoni, if not intimate, is loyal and joyous. In the Chopin-Godowsky , every intricacy is spun off with dazzling fluency, but there isn't the wit one usually associates with our beloved Popsie. The Liszt Beethoven 8th symphony transcription really is Allegro vivace con brio; it's exuberant and taken at an incredible clip, though lacking in clarity... An excellent disc, really, even if inward-looking tenderness is seemingly substituted with meer technique. But what a meer technique it is!

Great performances on a superb instrument.......2000-11-19

David Stanhope is a conductor, composer, and sometime pianist. It seems a little counterintuitive that someone so obviously occupied with other matters would choose to record a disk of some of the heaviest knucklecrunchers in the repertoire. But make no mistake -- the performances are hardly those of a part-time pianist. This release features a recording on the fascinating Stuart piano, designed by Australian Wayne Stuart. The Stuart's timbre is immediately distinctive -- the sound is light, but satisfyingly full-bodied, giving an exemplary clarity to this densely detailed music.

Customer Reviews:

Shura Cherkassky in his old age.......2000-07-12

Nimbus has done all fans of this legendary pianist quite a service by releasing these recordings on a bargain package. Needless to say, as in all Nimbus recordings, the sound is very well proportioned and it is pure delight to sense such intimacy as recorded here by Shura. To all those who know his playing, there are some surprises and also some dissapointments in this set. Most memorable are surprisingly those works which require a higher degree of instrospection such as the Shumann Kreisleriana and the Rachmaninov Corelli Variations, unfortunately we must keep in mind that these recordings were made towards the end of his life and highly-virtuosic works such as the Bach-Busoni Chaconne and the Pabst Eugene Onegin Paraphrase come through only after some obvious struggle - yet, there are some extraordinary moments which should cause envy on most younger performers. But all throughout, these recordings show Cherkassky as the master he was in his old age: reminiscent of piano-playing where the performer played as an extension of the keyboard and the composer - and that ever present sense of discovery found in his performances. This is always an ideal combination for great music making.
