Music reviews of Great Pianists 27

Music Review: Precious Document of the Great Artist
Rating: 5 Stars


When people hear his name, Leon Fleisher, first recording which comes to mind is his sublime recording of Beethoven concertos or the overwhelmingly powerful recording of Brahms concertos. But this 2CD set includes many recordings not available any more, like Liszt sonata, Weber's Sonata no.4, Ravel's sonatine and Copland's sonata etc, which shows different aspect of this great artist of keyboard. Like Sviatoslav Richter, Leon Fleisher is the kind of pianist who uses one's formidable technique solely to present music itself. All these works show how dazzling and exciting his playing can be, but one's attention is always drawn to music, not to pianist's technical brilliance only.

Recordings which stand out in this set are incandescent account of Liszt sonata and Rachmaninov's Paganini Rhapsody which is on a par with William Kapell. The famous Var.18 is one of the most intesely felt performances with strong orchestra support by Szell. Weber sonata displays his uncompromising virtuosity. Ravel's Sonatine is played with stunning delicacy and clarity. All recordings, except Ravel's left hand concerto were made between 1957-62 (stereo) at the hight of his career.
