CD Reviews

Extraordinary pianism for obscure repertoire
John H. Uhlemann | St. Louis, Missouri USA | 11/30/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Despite the obscure repertoire, this is really an amazing disc. The Constantinescu pieces are pale pianistic reflections of their extraordinary folkloric originals, but the Enescu selections are real eye-openners - The original piano version of the pop concert favorite First Roumanian Rhapsody is astounding for its technical requirements for the pianist and this pianist (new to me) meets the challenge and then some. However, the entire disc is worth the price for the Enescu piano sonata - a complex and "modern" work one would not have expected for the composer of the Rhapsody that preceeds it on the CD. The Bartok "6 dances" have been recorded amply before, and are redundant after the riches that preceed them. As a bonus, the recorded sound is the best I've heard for the piano."
