Music reviews of Piano Classics from the World of Jane Austen
Music Review: There are better ones out there.
Rating: 2 Stars
I bought this CD based on the rave reviews on Amazon, and it's a disappointment. The collection on the CD are not as beautiful as those on the Jane Austen Companion album, which I think is much better and more reminiscence of the Jane Austen period, or at least the movie remake. The music on this CD are beautifully played, but they aren't and won't be my favorite pieces. Mediocre pieces at best. If I get to preview this album on amazon, I won't have bought it. On the other hand, the Jane Austen Companion can be previewed on amazon, it's grander pieces, and it's even cheaper than this album.
Description of Piano Classics from the World of Jane Austen
This CD features classical piano music accurately reflecting the musical milieu of Jane Austen's period and social sphere. This music may be heard as emanating from the elegant drawing rooms graced by many of Austen's immortal and pianistic heroines. All musical selections are drawn from Austen's personal library, social sphere, or time period.The CD contains 73 minutes of music by well-known and lesser-known composers, including four complete sonatas, and premiere recordings of works by Cramer, Clementi, and Schobert. Includes a 16-page booklet featuring gorgeous color photography, a bibliography, and in-depth program notes discussing Jane Austen's pianistic background, the role music performance fulfills in Austen's plot/character development and social satire, historic/stylistic sketches of each piece, and the artist's personal speculations as to who might have played what, where, and under what circumstances.
