Music reviews of The Complete EMI RecordingsMusic Review: RIVETING and ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL Rating: 5 StarsI'm a piano man. It took me awhile to purchase this box set, but when I noticed the EMI Icon Solomon box set going for around $20 on amazon.uk, I decided to price out this set as well. The price was ridiculous - $30 with free shipping (amazon.uk adjusts the shipping at check out). I got both box sets for a total of $50. That's 25 discs folks. How could I miss?
Well, I couldn't. I was familiar with these reviews on this page. But being a piano guy, I went directly to the du Pre Barenboim Beethoven Sonatas. Heavenly! And I was pleasantly surprised at the very warm, natural sound. The audience coughs that were mentioned in a previous review seem very minor in relation to this being a series of live recordings. The artistry of these performances belies their "live" provenance.
Having heard the Beethoven, I returned to the first disc and hte legendary performance of the Elgar Concerto. I too, have never been overly fond of this piece - but then again, I admit only having heard Yo Yo Ma's youthful recording of it. This recording and performance is in another league altogether - and I enjoyed it immensely.
So it went as I continued to amble through this set. The performances are all on a very, very high level. The recording quality varies from good to excellent.
The value is extraordinary and the performances are noteworthy - and in some case, historic.
We have lost far too many artists at too young an age. Du Pre was among our greatest losses. You owe it to yourself to hear this monument to her artistry.
