In the Hands of the Master

Ludwig van Beethoven, Frederic Chopin, ...

Sony, 2003

In hot line with Liszt? s bravura style
The flamboyant pianist style of Horowitz at the piano made reemerge in North America the egregious figure of the virtuosi per excellence, a mass phenomena lived in Europe eighty years before when Sigismond Thalberg, Franz Liszt, Carl Tausig, Charles Valentin Alkan, ...

Clementi: The Complete Piano Sonatas, Vol. 2

Muzio Clementi, Howard Shelley

Hyperion UK, 2008

Shelley's Clementi series continues--the bar remains high!
The second installment of Howard Shelley's Clementi sonata series is finally here, and well worth the wait. Replying to a comment on my review of Vol.I, I remarked that I expected Op.12 would be the highlight of this volume. This proves to be only partially ...

Clementi: Piano Music

Muzio Clementi, Balazs Szokolay

Naxos, 1994

Fast, brilliant, exciting - one of my favorites
I bought the CD because my daughter was learning one of the selections in her piano class. I had no idea what to expect but the style of the composer and the technical skill of the performer have made this one of my favorite CDs (my collection exceeds 400 CDs). ...

Early Romantic Piano Concerti

Muzio Clementi, Johann Baptist Cramer, ...

Vox (Classical), 1996

Saving the Best Till Last
Full disclosure: I am not a musician. I am only a listener with an opinion. All of the concertos on this (double) album are worth hearing. But for myself, the one I have returned to many times is the album finale, a Piano Conerto by Ferdinand Ries. Yes, I know he is ...

Horowitz: Discovered Treasures

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ferruccio Busoni, ...

Sony, 1992

"New" Horowitz at his Best
The material for this album was recorded from 1962-1972, but not released until 1992. Horowitz was a perfectionist when it came to programming albums and recitals, and generally recorded more than was needed for an album--this is the extra material. The performances ...

Life & Works

Mozart

Naxos, 2002

Excellent Overview of the Life of Mozart
"Life & Works" is an excellent telling of the life of Mozart that primarily uses his letters, the letters of his family and friends, and his excerpts of his music. It is a rich combination that avoids many of the cliches of other biographical pieces (such as not ...

Muzio Clementi, June Chun

Centaur, 2000

Wonderful gift for any pianist
I play this wonderful classical CD for my young daughter to help her appreciate piano music. I recommend this CD for any classical music lover and student! A San Francisco fan of June Chung

Clementi: The Complete Piano Sonatas, Vol. 1

Muzio Clementi, Howard Shelley

Hyperion UK, 2008

Mozart was jealous!
Why should we bother with Clementi when Mozart called him "a charlatan," "a mere mechanicus?"--Mozart's professional jealousy! Listen with an open mind, and Shelley's Clementi makes this obvious. Leopold Mozart assigned Clementi's works to his students! To W.A., ...

Rhapsody in Blue - Ultimate Piano Collection [20 CD Set]

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Delta, 2003

Great collection for a great price
I did not expect much in buying this collection, but I was greatly surpeised. There were no reviews of the product at the time, and I bought the collection simply as a sampler of many great piano pieces. Most of the recordings are exquisite and of decent recording ...

Horowitz: Legendary RCA Recordings

Frederic Chopin, Muzio Clementi, ...

RCA, 2003

What More Can I Say That Hasn't Been Said?
Drake, the reviewer above or below this review, made me purchase this CD ... I advice you to do the same. The two major concertos on the first disc were for me the main attractions, and they do not disappoint. The Rach 3rd especially is a must in your collection. It's ...

Clementi: The Complete Sonatas, Vol. 1

Muzio Clementi, Costantino Mastroprimiano

Brilliant Classics, 2007

Are fortepianos to your liking?
Being a Clementi enthusiast, I fell upon this set and Mastroprimiano's Vol.2 with cries of joy. After five minutes, my reaction changed to disappointment. Not that Clementi isn't a great composer--he IS, and very underrated due to Mozart's reaction, motivated, as ...
