Synopsis

Amazon.com

The Schumann and Brahms works, recorded in 1952, stand out for Solomon's understated solidity, effortless mastery, and freedom from mannerisms. The Liszt fillers date from the 78 era, and reveal the pianist's rarely heard extroverted side. But hold on to your Seraphim LP transfer of Carnaval: it has more bloom and brightness on top. --Jed Distler

CD Reviews

One for your desert island.

John Austin | Kangaroo Ground, Australia | 07/21/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"As one critic said of the Schumann and Brahms performances on this CD, "These are desert island requirements". It is amazing to hear how Solomon can characterise, colour and invigorate these works, presenting them as fresh creations of young composers. He works wonders with "Pierrot", the second "Carnaval" piece, repeating its second half. In the Brahms sonata, his playing of the scherzo movement has wonderful vigour, light and shade. For some reason both recordings were withheld from publication until after Solomon suffered a stroke in 1956. Their remastering and transfer to CD comes with three Liszt pieces Solomon recorded in the early 1930s. The same critic concluded his review, as I do mine, by saying, "Snap this Testament issue up now"!"
