CD Reviews

Best introduction to a great artist

A reader | San Francisco, CA USA | 04/16/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Some day recordings by Ivan Moravec may not be available. It will be too late then; his artistry is unlikely to be matched by anyone currently before the public. This set includes four discs including some of the superb Connoisseur Society recordings he made in the 1960s in superior sound. It's worth two, three times the price. And it's certainly worth 10 or 20 discs by the latest phenoms aggressively marketed by A&R people for whom the term "photogenic" is as important as "gifted." A desert island box set if ever there was one."

Must have

cesar lares | caracas, venazuela | 06/04/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"this is a collection anyone must have, you only have to compare any piece with the better selection you already have in your collection,for example: compare moravec vs rubistein on the ballades, you will be surprise, you can have 2 versions you love side by side, the same with ravel, not to mention the selection of mozart. the sound is wonderfull,in the demostration class, even on the recordigs made in 1964, most of the pieces are licensed by mr. moravec, i assume he was involve in the selections of this box for supraphone. thanks for make me happy another time. dont forget is this box please you to try mr moravec chopin nocturnes, another wonderfull comparation with rubinsten,pires,ashkenazy, arrau to mention some."

A wonderful discovery

Grammar Moses | 02/09/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Just when I'd given up on musicians, rather than technicians,I took a leap of faith and have listened to some of the most wondrous musical renderings straight from the "Golden Age" of musianship, sound and techniqe.

Marvelous."
