Music reviews of Complete Solo Recordings of Ignaz Friedman

Music Review: A Pianistic Giant
Rating: 5 Stars

The greatest, in my opinion, among Leschetizky's disciples, Ignaz Friedman had a splendid technique (which reminds altenatively Rosenthal and Hofmann), a sonority of his own, a unique rhythmical sense, enlightened especially in the performance of the Mazurkas -- still considered by many to be the best ever recorded.

Also a competitor for the same superlative status is the Nocturne in E Flat Major opus 55 no.2, performed with unbelievable beauty of sound, of phrasing and with enormous evocative power...

All the other items on this set -- beautifully transferred by Ward Marston and interestingly commented by Allan Evans -- are sheer gems of Romantic piano playing. Do not miss it!
