Outstanding modern performances.......2000-01-01
Having heard the much-missed Pina Carmirelli perform the Second Sonata at Marlboro in the 1960s, and hearing Sergiu Luca's fine recording I didn't think there would be room for another contemporary version but this CD amply fills that space; while the Second Sonata, with its amazing fusion of Bach and late Beethoven dwarfs the First, it is still good to have the earlier work. Exemplary performances of both, if lacking in the personal identification both Szigeti and Carmirelli brought to this music; proving however that Busoni, often regarded as an also-ran, was in fact a supremely gifted and powerful contemporary of Mahler and Richard Strauss and that his music admits performance by those not in the master's immediate line of descent.
