Synopsis

Amazon.com
Rudolf Serkin recorded this music to much greater effect on Sony. By the time he got around to these remakes, the octogenarian pianist was well past his best form, and he wasn't helped by Claudio Abbado's soft-focused accompaniments, nor by DG's overmiked digital sound. Of course, nothing this splendid keyboard artist undertook was actually bad, but you only have to listen to his own earlier performances to realize just how much less successful he is here. --David Hurwitz
