CD Reviews

Fantastic recorded piano music!

Vu Minh Hoang | Saigon, Vietnam | 01/11/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Bravo Wild, Bravo Chesky!Obviously this CD contains 3 greatest Beethoven's Sonatas, but what makes it so special is the virtuosity of Earl Wild that comes together with Chesky's highest level of audiophile recodring technique.I have few No. 8,14,29 from other great pianists like Pollini, Kempff, Brendel and even Horowitz, IMHO Wild performance is unique and really up to top. He might not be as famous as others but it is just because he can't accept the recording quantity of major labels.With this CD, the super natural recorded sound can ride you thru extreme aspects of the piano & I have feeling like having Wild at home to play my favourite music just for me. If Chesky has a lot of money to spend on advertising as EMI, DG or Sony this CD might become a hottest sale already. You can't go wrong with this CD, especially if you have a good sound system."
