CD Reviews

WOW!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is piano playing at its finest. Tone color, voicing, clarity are impeccable. Played with fire and conviction although in a totally idiomatic, classical fashion. This is not the 'prettified' playing of many pianists of this generation but full-bodied, dramatic, musicianly straightforward interpertations of some familiar as well as not so well known pieces. Mme Reisenberg was a musician's musician. I wish some of her other releases (Chopin, Kabalevsky, Rachmaniov) from this period would be re-released."
A sound actually missed!

"Nadia playing was exquisite , arresting and flamboyant . Her style belonged to an ancient tradition that simply does not exist in these days .

Musicality , honesty , are the last consequences of a deep insight in the soul of the composer . In her hands , Haydn sounds so convincing , that nobody in this moment (with the gloroius exception of Andras Schiff) can play with such pureness and rapture .

"
This is a fantastic CD
