CD Reviews

Lush Pianistic Brilliance

Phillip J. Rodgers | West Central GA USA | 02/11/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Leopold Godowsky was one of music's most gifted minds. He had a Bachian sense of counterpoint married to a Chopinesque sense of the piano. It was, perhaps, inevitable that Godowsky would be drawn to Bach's music. This CD contains Godowsky's paraphrases (these are far more ambitious than simple transcriptions) of three of J.S. Bach's suites for solo cello. Godowsky tackles the d minor, C major, and c minor suites. The paraphrases show off both Mr. Grante's impeccable technique and musicianship, as well as his gorgeous tone. These sound almost like transcriptions for organ in places because of Mr. Grante's lush tone production. This, and its sister CD of the Bach/Godowsky violin sonatas are highly recommended. If you enjoy the Bach/Busoni Chaconne, then you will love these."

"Godowsky's transcibing genius is apparent in these arrangements of three of Bach's cello suites. Carlo Grante's rich tone and strong intellect brings a plethora of color and life to each piece on this disc. Bach piano transcriptions exist in abundance, but those presented here are, to my knowledge, the only ones made of these cello suites (the D minor, C major and C minor), thereby giving pianists the opportunity to study and perform these masterpieces."
