CD ReviewsA feast for piano lovers! Steven Eldredge | New York, NY USA | 12/28/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Alicia de Larrocha has always been one of my very favorite pianists, and while I was a student during the 1970s and early 1980s I eagerly snatched up each of her recordings as soon it arrived on the shelves. In the long twilight of her illustrious career, Se?ora de Larrocha has tended to concentrate on playing Mozart concertos and sonatas in public, music which demonstrates her sterling musicianship and tone without over-taxing her technique in a major way. Many people who have only heard her in this repertoire might not be prepared for the grandeur and sweep of her virtuoso accounts of big Romantic pieces, such as the Liszt Sonata, and Schumann and Chopin, all of which are represented here. The technique is big, the tone glorious, the musical interpretations impeccable, she has it all in spades. I am so happy to have her lovely account of the Chopin F Minor Concerto back in the catalog, as well as her colorful romp through the Khachaturian Concerto. If you love great piano playing and you love Alicia de Larrocha, do not hesitate for a minute. Buy this box set while it is still available." The Art of Alicia de Larrocha Vincent C. Roper | 01/03/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Alicia de Larrocha is probably the finest interpreter of Spanish Piano music.The Art of Alicia de Larrocha is a collection of recordings performed by the artist over many years.There are 7 CD's in total. Each Cd cover has a beautiful picture of Ms de Larrocha at different times in her performing career. An excellent example of her versatility, from Bach to Manuel De Falla,her musicality and clean technique are characteristic of her playing,well brought out by the recording process.
The sound quality is excellent. A special delight are some rarely heard pieces like a Soler Sonata, an Sonatina by Montsalvatge and a Prelude by Mompou. Very inspiring to pianists. I strongly recommend it!" |
