CD Reviews

Passionate Virtuosity
Jerico Vasquez | Houston, Texas | 01/19/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This recording is just unbelievable! It is perhaps one of the most perfect recordings of the piece, combining the fire of Argerich, the musical insight of Richter, and the absolute command of sound and color comparable only to Horowitz. Under Zimerman's fingers, the piece becomes an organic whole from beginning to end. If you are a serious musician and collector of fine music, I highly recommend getting this recording."
Simply very good
Flotan | Vienna | 03/08/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"That's really one of the best Liszt Sonatas I own on CD. It's probably the best, but that's very hard to tell, if you know Horowitz (let's go...), Argerich (see what my Steinway can bear), PLETNEV (maybe the most virtuosic interpretation), Gilels ("broad"), Curzon (incredibly risky), Cziffra (3 hands), Pogorelich (surprise), etc...

What I really like about this CD is the beautiful sound quality of the piano. Also listen to the other tracks, it's so abysmal Liszt-

I love it- and you will love it too...."
Simply amazing - and not only the Sonata
Gergely Kiss | Hungary | 12/25/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Incredible - even compared to Horowitz's this Sonata-recording is breathtaking, but i would like to point out that the other performances on this CD are amazing as well: You hardly can get a good recording of the piano version of La Notte and Zimerman plays it so movingly (it is surely the best what You can find by now), La Lugubre Gondola is also played with much understanding although i prefer it to be a little slower and gloomier (like the Erno Szegedi-recording), the Funerailles is PERFECT!!! No other words to describe! Zimerman is not affraid of using the pedal (most pianists are) as indicated in the beginning of the piece, the funeral march makes one cry, the Chopinesque left-hand octaves in the second half are played with incredible evenness (i only heard such delicacy in that passage from Bolet before). The Nuages Gris is played well as well, although a bit too fast in the beginning i felt.
Alltogether - IF YOU LIKE LISZT'S MUSIC YOU HAVE TO GET THIS DISC."
