Great Pianists of the 20th Century - Jorge Bolet

Search: Mephisto Waltz No. 1 - Liszt
from: Great Pianists of the 20th Century

Release Date October 01, 1999
Bolet's Liszt has won all the plaudits so I don't really need to add my own, but I will anyway!

This is a fabulous selection, beautifully boxed by Phillips, of Bolet's twilight-years' recordings of Liszt's piano music on Decca. If you don't want to collect all of Bolet's output (and I think you should) then this is an inexpensive introduction to what you've been missing all these years. The qualities that made Bolet the finest Lisztian of his day are all here: power, control, romance and limpid, crystalline articulation.

I heard him play in Bath the year before he died. I shall never forget it. Nobody who was there ever will.

The Only Piano Album You'll Ever Need

Search: Mephisto Waltz No. 1 - Liszt
by: Various Artists

Release Date May 26, 2003
As a professional concert pianist for the last thirty years or so, it was a great relief to find that they have released everything you need on 2 CDs. Sure enough, since I bought it I have been able to discard the 1000 or so CDs that I had collected of performers like Cortot, Horowitz, Rachmaninoff and Schnabel (and I now have enough room for a pool table!). They are simply not necessary when you have these two CDs.

Release Date January 01, 1999

Kapell's rendition of Chopin's 3rd Sonata has never been surpassed to this day in tonal delicacy, keen sense of architecture and the most thrilling firey finale. Rachmaninov, Khachaturian, Prokofiev, Beethoven Concertos would make all past masters sound tame in comparison. Also included are well documented booklet with many photos, tributes, biographical ...
