CD Reviews

Nonsense.

Luca | San Francisco, CA USA | 05/21/2001

(1 out of 5 stars)

"Grante has no idea at all of style appropriate to this idiom. Most of these are unrecognizable. No sense of texture, tone, legato, or anything else that would have meant anything to Godowsky. Check out Godowsky's American records, e.g. the Berceuse, (not the Columbias) to hear what I mean. As bad as I've heard since Szidon's hysterical Scriabin or Pollini's brutal Chopin. No bueno. Really no stars at all."

Good Godowsky.

offeck | New York, NY -- United States of America | 12/15/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Good performances, but inferior to this very same pianist's second recording of these studies found on Music & Arts... Also, a bit over-priced."

The Definitive Performance of these Murderous Pieces

Phillip J. Rodgers | West Central GA USA | 02/12/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Carlo Grante shows that he has the heart of a lion by tackling these fiendish pieces. One would be hard pressed to find more difficult music for the piano. The intellectual and technical demands are titanic. Mr. Grante shows that he is more than equal to them. There is no finer recording of these pieces available. This recording alone would catapult Mr. Grante to the front rank of today's best pianists. Only Arcadi Volodos, Marc-Andre Hamelin, and Jack Gibbons deserve to be mentioned in the same breath with him. The music itself is delightful. Godowsky has an odd art deco sensibility that makes his music the sonic analog of a Tiffany stained glass window. All three volumes of this set are well worth having."
