CD Reviews

Weissenberg as great as usual

Brodowicz | 03/19/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I always considered Weissenberg as not only a tremendous virtuoso but also as a very inspired musician. With this Rachmaninov recording, Weissenberg lives up to his reputation. He's as sensitive in Rachmaninov's dishevelling technique as in Bach's Partitas."

Simply DEFINATIVE

"I have an enormous collection these Preludes. From Richter, Rachmaninov, Horowitz, Sofronitsky, to Hayroudinoff, Luganksy, and all the wonderful ones in between[Hofmann, Gilels, Moiseiwitsch, etc]. As far as single collections go[those containing all the preludes] this one has never been surpassed. And I dont think there has ever been a faster, more clear recording of op23.2. Breathtaking!!!!

Weissenberg himself is a shockingly inconsistent pianist. It is inconceivable to me how one pianist that can produce such a volcanic talent here can also bore you to sleep with his Goldberg variations, but, as with Richter, when he is at his best-he is one of the greats[I would never compare him directly to Richter-or anyone else for that matter[.

For those looking to purchase one disc containing all of these remarkable pieces, look no furthur. Richter never recorded them all, nor did Moiseiwitsch or Rach himself. More recently a pianist named Rustem Hayroudinoff recorded them all for Chandos, and did so very well. But they dont stand up to these. The sound is fine-there is absolutely nothing to complain about there.

Dont hesitate. This is a set for a lifetime."
