Oct 24, 2008 (15 CDs)
• Rachmaninoff: piano concerto #3, Paganini Rhapsody (pianist Leonel Morales); Buxtehude-Chavez: Chacona; Beethoven: Symphony #3 (Orch Sinfonica del Estado de Mexico/Batiz, Compromiso 2CDs) The Cuban-born pianist plays both works with an assured style. Given these were live performances, the occasional clinkers are completely forgivable.
• Beethoven: 32 piano sonatas (Dieter Zechlin, Berlin Classics 9CDs) I feel irritated by the restlessness and hastiness permeating his playing.
• Wagner: Gotterdammerung (Janowski, RCA Red Seal 4CDs) I really like the almost-constant sense of propulsion, which makes for breathtaking music, though this does mean a dearth of creative tempo variation.

Oct 18, 2008 (3 CDs)
• Schubert: "Trout" Quintet, Sonata in A minor for piano and arpeggione (Ax/Frank/Young/Ma,Meyer, Sony Great Performances) joyful in the Quintet, and touchingly wistful in the Sonata
• Smetana: Ma vlast (Kubelik/Boston Sym, DG Galleria) Justly famous, though I wish the big melodies in The Moldau were more luscious and dramatic.
• Bach: 2 violin concertos; Gubaidulina: violin concerto "In tempus praesens" (Mutter/London Sym/Gergiev, DG) I find the Bach concertos a tad too hyper, but enjoy the modern piece more than expected.

Oct 10, 2008 (4 CDs)
• Beethoven: piano sonatas #16 - 17, 21; Andante favori WoO 57 (Schiff, ECM Records 2CDs) An extremely unique cycle of the 32 sonatas, the result of thoughtful microanalysis. His emphasis of details can sometimes sound labored, and melodies can become disjointed, but I appreciate his interesting perspectives. If you have nothing new to say, why record yet another cycle of these pieces?
• Beethoven: piano sonatas #27 - 29 (Schiff, ECM Records) See above comments
• Beethoven: piano sonatas #30 - 32 (Schiff, ECM Records) See above comments

Sep 22, 2008 (10 CDs, 1 LP)
• Wagner: Das Rheingold, Die Walkure, Siegfried (Janowski, RCA 10CDs) I really like the almost-constant sense of propulsion, which makes for breathtaking music -- a great example is the Prelude to Act 2 of Die Walkόre -- though this does mean a dearth of creative tempo variation.
• Rachmaninoff: piano concerto #3 (Cliburn/Moscow State Philharmonic Orchestra/Kondrashin, Aprelevskiy zavod. USSR. D-04330-1)

Sep 18, 2008 (14 CDs)
• Wagner: Der Ring des Nibelungen (Bayerischer Staatsoper/Sawallisch, EMI 14CDs) Painfully insipid, surprising for such an eminent Ring veteran. The only quasi-satisfying spot is the brisk tempi in Gφtterdδmmerung Act 2, scene 3.

Sep 17, 2008 (3 CDs)
• Beethoven: Piano Sonatas #5 - 8 (Schiff, ECM Records) An extremely unique cycle of the 32 sonatas, the result of thoughtful microanalysis. His emphasis of details can sometimes sound labored, and melodies can become disjointed, but I appreciate his interesting perspectives. If you have nothing new to say, why record yet another cycle of these pieces?
• Beethoven: Piano Sonatas #9 - 11, 19 & 20 (Schiff, ECM Records) See above comments
• Beethoven: Piano Sonatas #12 - 15 (Schiff, ECM Records) See above comments

Sep 16, 2008 (11 CDs)
• Wagner: Der Ring des Nibelungen (Met Opera 1937-1941 cycle conducted by Bodanzky & Leinsdorf, Naxos Historical 11CDs) Too darn fast, as if the conductors were worried that the audience would fall asleep had they taken too long to finish each opera. The best part is the singing, which can still be reasonably appreciated despite the primitive sonics, but the orchestral sound is far too faint.

Sep 15, 2008 (1 LP, 2 CDs)
• Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto #3 (Katsaris/National Orch of Belgium/Defossez, DG)
• Beethoven: piano sonatas #1 - 4 (Schiff, ECM Records 2CDs) An extremely unique cycle of the 32 sonatas, the result of thoughtful microanalysis. His emphasis of details can sometimes sound labored, and melodies can become disjointed, but I appreciate his interesting perspectives. If you have nothing new to say, why record yet another cycle of these pieces?

Sep 9, 2008 (3 CDs)
• Rachmaninoff: piano concerto #3, Prelude Op.3 No.2 (Weissenberg/Orch National de France/Bernstein, Toshiba-EMI) He seems to be pounding out most notes as strongly as he can. Sinewy chords can sound great in Rachmaninoff, but there are too many of them here.
• Dutilleux: Sur le meme accord; Bartok: Violin Concerto #2; Stravinsky: Concerto en re (Mutter/Boston Sym/Ozawa and Philharmonia Orch/Sacher, DG) intense
• Beethoven: piano sonatas #22, 23, 24, 25, 26 (Schiff, ECM Records) An extremely unique cycle of these sonatas, the result of thoughtful microanalysis. His emphasis of details can sometimes sound labored, and melodies can become disjointed, but I appreciate his very unique perspectives.

Sep 5, 2008 (1 CD)
• Crusell: clarinet concertos (Billman/Korsten, Naxos) much more listenable than expected

Aug 29, 2008 (1 CD, 3 DVDs)

Aug 13, 2008 (1 CD)
• Rachmaninoff: Piano Concertos 1 - 4, Paganini Rhapsody (Ian Hobson/Sinfonia Varsovia, Zephyr 2CDs) Bland, almost emotionless, though the gentleness and strict meter can sound unique in these Romantic showpieces.

Aug 6, 2008 (1 CD)
• "Tribute to Horowitz" - Liszt: Dante Sonata, Mephisto Waltz #1, Hungarian Rhapsody #2; Bizet-Horowitz: Carmen Variations; Rossini-Ginzburg: Fantasy on a Theme from Il barbiere di Siviglia (Denis Matsuev, RCA Red Seal) plenty of virtuosity but little else; Horowitz was much more than playing fast and loud

Jul 30, 2008 (19 CDs)
• Wagner: Das Rheingold (Sym des Bayerischen Rundfunks/Haitink, EMI 2CDs) Among the Ring Cycles with top-tier conductors, this is the weakest, lacking both power and inspiration. Haitink was more of a symphonic conductor. Needless to say, it's much harder to engage the listener for 2.5 - 4.5 hours than for an hour.
• Wagner: Die Walkure (Sym des Bayerischen Rundfunks/Haitink, EMI 4CDs)
• Wagner: Siegfried Sym des Bayerischen Rundfunks/Haitink, EMI 4CDs)
• Wagner: Gotterdammerung Sym des Bayerischen Rundfunks/Haitink, EMI 4CDs)
• Beethoven: 9 symphonies (Wiener Phil/Bernstein, DG 5CDs) I was hoping for edgier interpretations

Jul 27, 2008 (3 CDs, 1 DVD)
• Beethoven: Violin Concerto, Kreutzer Sonata (Repin/Argerich/Muti, DG 2CDs) Repin's playing is alright, but Argerich's accompaniment can get neurotic and eclipses the violinist
• Bernstein: West Side Story (Carreras/Te Kanawa/Bernstein, DG, 1CD + 1DVD) fun video

Jul 25, 2008 (1 CD)
• Rachmaninoff: piano concertos #1 & #3 (Barry Douglas/Russian State Sym Orch/Svetlanov, RCA Red Seal) Douglas plays conservatively; the orchestra sounds slightly more engaging.

Jul 14, 2008 (2 CDs)
• Rachmaninoff: Piano Sonata #1, Piano Concerto #3 (Eteri Andjaparidze/Tbilisi Sym Orch/Djansug Kakhidze, DePaul University School of Music, 2CDs) respectable performances by a lesser-known pianist

Jul 11, 2008 (2 CDs)
• Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto; Gang Chen and Zhanhao He: The Butterfly Lovers Concerto for Violin (Shaham/Singapore Sym Orch/Lan Shui, Canary Classics) a bit too masculine in the Butterfly Lovers Concerto, though I might just be used to Takako Nishizaki's renditions
• "Horowitz in Hambourg: The Last Concert" - Mozart: Rondo K 485, Sonata K 333; Liszt after Schubert: SoirΓ©e de Vienne No.6; Schumann: Kinderszenen; Chopin: Mazurka Op.33 No.4, Polonaise Op.53; Schubert: Moment Musical in F minor, Op.94 No.3; Moszkowski: Etincelles, Op.36 No.6 (Horowitz, DG) one of the better recordings from his last years

Jul 7, 2008 (1 CD)
• Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto #3, Moments Musicaux Op.16 Nos.4 & 5 (Iannone/Orch Sinfonica della Provincia di Bari/Yoritomo, Phoenix Classics) not up to the technical demands

Jul 3, 2008 (2 CDs)
• Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto #3, Preludes Op.3 No.2, Op.23 Nos.4&5; Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto #1, "October" from "The Seasons"; Prokofiev: Precipitato from Sonata #7, Prelude Op.12 No.7, Toccata Op.11; Shchedrin: Humoresque; Scriabin: Etude Alla ballata, op. 8 No. 9; Cziffra: The Flight of the Bumble Bee (Katsaris, Piano 21, 2CDs) super showy; astounding mechanistic ease; the music sounds frivolous when he plays so fast

Jun 22, 2008 (11 CDs)
• Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto #3, Symphonic Dances (Pietro Massa/Orch Bruno Maderna/Giorgi, Genuin) An effectively dark Rach 3 marred by copious technical blemishes in the 3rd mvt; an overly calm Symphonic Dances
• Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto #3, The Isle of the Dead (Andreas Jetter/Phil Moldova/Scholler-Manno, Bella Musica) despite the brisk tempi in the Rach 3, it's mostly ho-hum except for the vivacious beginning of the cadenza
• Beethoven: 32 piano sonatas (Maria Grinberg, Veheunr 9CDs) often playful, sometimes crass, but usually unique

Jun 21, 2008 (12 CDs)
• Mahler: 10 symphonies (Chailly, Decca 12CDs) not every movement is special, but some of them can be powerful and grand especially when Chailly took broad tempi; I most enjoy symphonies nos. 3, 5, 6, and 9

Jun 20, 2008 (1 CD, 5 DVDs)
• Toscanini Collection Vol. 20 - Franck: Symphony in D minor; Saint-Saens: Symphony #3 (Toscanini/NBC Sym Orch, RCA) quite exciting, despite the dry sonics

Jun 11, 2008 (8 CDs)
• Rachmaninoff: Piano concertos #2 and 3 (Sigfridsson/Radio-Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart/Solyom, Hanssler Classic) timid
• Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto #3, Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini (Moura Castro/Slovenia Radio and TV Sym Orch/Amadio, L'Art) sooooo slow!!!
• "Glenn Gould - the young maverick": Bach's Goldberg Variations (rec. 1954), Partita #5, Italian Concerto; Beethoven's Concertos #1 - 3, Sonatas #4, 19, 28; Schoenberg's Concerto Op.42, Three Piano Pieces Op.11, Suite Op.25; Berg's Sonata Op.1; Webern's Variations Op.27 (Glenn Gould, CBC Records 6CDs) stylistically already "Gould-like"

May 30, 2008 (6 CDs)
• Mahler: Symphony #8 (Staatskapelle Berlin/Boulez, DG 2CDs) Not a fan of Boulez's conducting, though I do appreciate the clarity in the choral movements
• Mahler: Symphony #5 (Wiener Phil/Boulez, DG) slightly better than his Mahler 2, but still rather sterile
• Sibelius & Schoenberg: violin concertos (Hahn/Swedish Radio Sym/Salonen, DG) very good Schoenberg
• "Kapell reDiscovered - The Australian Broadcasts": Rachmaninoff's 3rd concerto (with Victoria Sym Orch/Heinze), Bach's Suite in A minor, Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, Mozart's sonata K. 570, Debussy's Suite Bergamasque, Chopin's Barcarolle & Scherzo #1, Prokofiev's Sonata #7 (RCA Red Seal, 2CDs) A lyrical Rach 3. Generally more inspired than in his studio recordings; the tender moments are particularly captivating.

May 13, 2008 (3 CDs)
• Tchaikovsky: violin concerto; Shostakovich: violin concerto #1 (Midori/Abbado, Sony) spectacular in the Shostakovich, a little uneven in the Tchaikovsky
• Leoncavallo: Pagliacci (Bjorling/Cellini, EMI) very strong singing; orchestra captured faintly
• Sarasate: Carmen Fantasy, Ziguenerweisen, etc.; Falla, Granados, Halffter, Albeniz (Perlman, EMI) reliable

Jan 21, 2008 (3 CDs)
• Mozart: Piano Concertos #13 & 23; Haydn: Piano Concerto #11 (Michelangli/Orch Alessandro Scarlatti/Zurich Chamber Orch/Caracciolo/de Stoutz, EMI Great Artists of the Century) technically faultless, musically sleepy
• Schumann: Davidsbundlertanze, Fantasiestucke (Perahia, Sony) youthful (in both good and bad ways)
• Bernstein: West Side Story (Nashville Sym Orch/Schermerhorn, Naxos American Classics) halfway decent
• Alkan: Concerto for solo piano, Troisieme recueil de chants (Hamelin, Hyperion) stunning virtuosity

Dec 23, 2007 (2 CDs)
• Brahms: Piano Concerto #2, Four Piano Pieces Op 119 (Hamelin/Dallas Sym Orch/Litton, Hyperion) so-so
• Beethoven: Emperor Concerto, Piano Sonata #28 (Grimaud/Staatskapelle Dresden/Jurowski, DG) one of her better albums, with invigorating conducting from Jurowski

Nov 20, 2007 (1 CD)
• Complete Liszt Vol. 21: Beethoven-Liszt Symphony No. 9 (Scherbakov, Naxos) don't like it, Leslie Howard is better

Nov 14, 2007 (2 CDs)
• Beethoven: piano concerts #1 & 4 (Lang Lang/Eschenbach, DG) Lang plays with sparkling virtuosity, flowing introspection, and more discipline than usual; possibly his best CD so far
• Kapustin: piano music (Hamelin, Hyperion) high-efficiency playing

Nov 12, 2007 (2 CDs)
• Schumann: piano concerto; Clara Schumann: 3 Lieder; Brahms: sonata for piano and cello #1, Two Rhapsodies Op. 79 (Grimaud/Salonen/von Otter/Truls Mork, DG) The cello sonata is well played, while the rest can sound disorganized
• Complete Liszt Vol. 20: Concert Etudes, Etude en douze exercices, Mazeppa S136 (William Wolfram, Naxos) interesting precursors to the Transcendental Etudes

Jul 18, 2007 (3 CDs)
• Chopin: Polonaises Op. 26 Nos.1 & 2, Op.40 No.2 & Op. 53; 4 Impromptus (Kissin, RCA) almost insufferable
• R. Strauss: Elektra (Nilsson/Wiener Phil/Solti, Decca 2CDs) Pretty good, though a tad dry

Jun 15, 2007 (5 CDs)
• Scriabin: Complete piano works except the sonatas (Ponti, VoxBox 5CDs) fierce playing marred by subpar sonics

Apr 30, 2007 (5 CDs 1DVD)
• Bizet: "Carmen" (de los Angeles/Beecham, EMI Great Recordings of the Century 3CDs) sounds messy, unrefined; many conductors approach Carmen too casually
• Bizet: "Carmen" (Bumbry/de Burgos, EMI GEMINI 2CDs) the briskness can be exciting, but on the whole this performance rubs me the wrong way
• Bizet: "Carmen" (Baltsa/Carreras/Levine, DG DVD)

Apr 28, 2007 (4 CDs)
• Chopin: 19 Nocturnes (Rubinstein 1965 recording, RCA 2CDs) sounds lovely if I listen to just one or two pieces at a time, but it is hard to sit through the whole cycle due to his perpetually thick tone and lack of interpretive surprises
• R. Strauss: Salome (Nilsson/Solti, Decca Originals 2CDs) sizzling; IMO Solti's tense and often dry conducting was a better fit here than in any of his Wagner. More lyricism would still be welcome though.

Apr 27, 2007 (5 CDs)
• Bizet: "Carmen" (Gheorghiu/Plasson, EMI 3CDs) lackluster orchestral playing, with occasionally uncomfortable singing
• Rossini: "Il Turco in Italia" (Callas/Gavazzeni, EMI 2CDs) melodic and fun

Apr 27, 2007 (1 DVD)
• Bizet: "Carmen" (Domingo/C. Kleiber, TDK) Pretty good

Apr 8, 2007 (3 CDs)
• Bizet: "Carmen" (The Met Opera/Bernstein, DG Trio 3CDs) fanTAStic! The best "Carmen" ever.

Mar 1, 2007 (2 CDs)
• Rota: piano works (D. Laval, Naive Classique 2CDs) charming music

Feb 16, 2007 (4 CDs)
• Mussorgsky: "Boris Godunov" (Karajan, Decca Originals, 3CDs) has more than a few high points
• "Simply Anne-Sophie" (Mutter, DG) a compilation of some of Mutter's signature pieces

Jan 29, 2007 (2 CDs)
• Paganini: Violin Cto #1; Spohr: Violin Cto #8 (Hahn/Swedish Radio Sym/Oue, DG) Astounding technical flair -- Heifetz (who dared not record the Paganini concerto) would be envious! The Spohr concerto is listenable and should be programmed more.
• Brahms: Piano Cto #1 (Zimerman/Berlin Phil/Rattle, DG) Zimerman's first recording of this cto is much better

Jan 24, 2007 (10 CDs)
• Beethoven: 32 piano sonatas, Diabelli Variations (Georges Pludermacher, Transart 10CDs) unforced, sensitive, though at times a tad monotonous

Dec 22, 2006 (1 CD)
• Beethoven: violin cto; Bernstein: Serenade (Hahn/Zinman, Sony) An exquisitely elegant rendition by the most complete violinist of her generation. Zinman is underrated. The Bernstein piece is fairly accessible.

Dec 16, 2006 (6 CDs)
• Rachmaninoff: Aleko, The Miserly Knight, Francesca da Rimini (Jarvi, DG Trio 3CDs) underrated
• Mozart: Sonata K330; Chopin: Sonata #3; Schumann: Kinderszenen; Liszt-Horowitz: Hungarian Rhapsody #2 (Lang Lang, DG 2CDs) captivating in the Schumann, uneasy in the others
• Mozart: Sinfonia concertante for oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn K297b; Beethoven: Symphony #5 (West-Eastern Divan Orch/Barenboim, Warner) fascinating conducting

Dec 14, 2006 (1 CD)
• Rachmaninoff: Piano Ctos #2 & 3 (Berezovsky/Orch Phil de l'Oural/Liss, Mirare) The tenderness is refreshing.

Dec 9, 2006 (12 CDs)
• "Queen Elisabeth Competition, Piano 2003": Prokofiev Cto #2 (Eckardstein), Rachmanninoff Cto #3 (Wen-Yu Shen), Ian Munro's piano concerto "Dreams", Balakirev Islamey (Park), Mozart Cto #20 (Jin Ju), etc. (Cypres 3CDs) Lots of amazing virtuosos, though the only one who stands out musically is finalist Amir Tebenikhin in Haydn's Piano Sonata No. 60 in C major, Hob.XVI:50. These competitions need to look beyond techniques and reward musicianship much more.
• Beethoven: 32 piano sonatas (Craig Sheppard, Romeo 9CDs) mechanical and tense

Dec 5, 2006 (19 CDs)
• Wagner: The Ring (Furtwangler 1953, EMI 13CDs) a uniquely relaxed Ring; musically natural, pleasant, and refreshing, but could use more excitement.
• Beethoven: 9 symphonies (Karajan 1950s, EMI 5CDs) not too different from his cycle recorded just several years later, but the mono sound reduces enjoyment
• Etler, Siqueira, Osborne and Villa-Lobos: music for bassoon and piano (Helene Grimaud/Jeff Keesecker, aca Digital Recording) hard to sit through

Dec 1, 2006 (11 CDs)
• Beethoven: 32 piano sonatas, violin sonatas #7 and 10 (with Ricci), piano concerto #1 (with Karl Bohm) (Gulda, Decca mono recordings, 11CDs) Gulda's 1950s cycle with solid albeit straightforward playing. Ricci's flippant playing adds variety to the set.

Nov 21, 2006 (1 CD)
• Brahms: Piano concerto #2 (Peter Serkin/Shaw, ProArte) much gentler than his father, and more musical than at his live performance I saw in 2006

Nov 8, 2006 (5 CDs)
• Mahler: Sym #2 (Wiener Phil/Boulez, DG) atrociously interpretationless
• Mozart: 5 violin concertos, Sinfonia Concertante (Mutter/Bashmet/London Phil, DG 2CDs) too fiery for Mozart
• Brahms: 2 piano concertos (Freire/Gewandhausorchester/Chailly, Decca 2CDs) potent, but lacks personal touches needed to stand out among the competition

Nov 1, 2006 (2 CDs)
• Chopin: Nocturnes (Pollini, DG 2CDs) frigid

Oct 10, 2006 (1 LP)
• Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto #3 (Kurt Leimer/Nόrnberger Symphoniker/Zsolt Deaky, Colosseum COLOS SM 581)

Oct 21, 2006 (8 CDs)
• Mozart: complete violin sonatas (Mutter/Orkis, DG 4CDs) spirited, emphatic, never dull
• Chopin: 24 Preludes Op. 28 (Pogorelich, DG) alternates between pensive and breathtaking
• Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet (Skrowaczewski); Moussorgsky: A Night on Bald Mountain (London Sym Orch/Dorati, Mercury) serviceable; could be much more exciting and fun
• Joachim: Violin Concerto #2; Brahms: Violin Concerto (R. Barton/Chicago Sym Orch/C. Kalmar, Cedille Records 2CDs) She is more mellow and indifferent than expected, though with a refined tone. And yes, the Joachim concerto is too long.

Aug 31, 2006 (2 CDs)
• Rachmaninoff: piano concertos #2 & 3; Savva: Theme and Variations for Steinway and Orchestra (Sgouros/Cyprus State Orch/Zoltowski, Steinway Club Cyprus 2CDs) mostly insipid in the Rach concertos, aside from a few electrifying spots in the last mvts; Debussy's "Clair de lune" makes a cameo in the Savva piece

Aug 29, 2006 (3 CDs)
• Brahms: Paganini Variations, Rhapsodies Op.79, Ballades Op.10 (Nicholas Angelich, Virgin) relatively slow and gentle
• Mozart: Trios for piano, violin and cello, K.502, 542, 548 (Mutter, Previn, Muller-Schott, DG) uncharacteristically timid for Mutter
• "Opera Proibita": Handel, Scarlatti, Caldara (Bartoli, Decca) virtuosic

Aug 26, 2006 (4 CDs)
• Beethoven: Hammerklavier Sonata, Sonata #32; Liszt: Sonata, Benediction, Sposalizio, Hungarian Rhapsody #12; Levy: Pieces for piano (Ernst Levy, Marston 2CDs) labored, ugly, undisciplined
• Bach-Busoni: Chaconne; Brahms: Paganini Variations (1950 recording); Mozart: concerto #15 (Michelangeli, EMI) he made the Paganini Variations sound too easy
• R. Strauss: Ein Heldenleben; Mozart: Magic Flute Overture; Haydn: Sym #99 (Toscanini/NBC Sym Orch, Naxos Historial) appropriately driven in the Strauss, but too much for the Mozart and Haydn

June 26, 2006 (7 DVDs)
• Wagner: The Ring (Boulez, DG 7DVDs) fast, clinical conducting; good staging

April 17, 2006 (1 LP)
• Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto #3 (Horatio Gutierres/Great Sym Orch of Moscow Radio/Rozhdestvensky, Melodiya LP) from an era when most young pianists wanted to play like Horowitz

March 21, 2006 (6 CDs)
• Tchaikovsky: piano cto #1 (w/ Ozawa); Rachmaninoff: solo piano works (Volodos, Sony) refreshing orchestral playing; Volodos plays with his usual aplomb and technical ease
• Mahler: sym #2 (Gilbert Kaplan, DG 2CDs) countless insights, with all instruments amply utilized, though a bit wanting in grandeur and creative tempo variation
• Szymanowski: Masques Op.34, piano sonata #3, Metopes Op.29 (Anderszewski, Virgin) Scriabin/Debussy-like music; expressive, sensual playing
• Chopin-Godowsky: Etudes (Berezovsky, Warner) each Chopin etude is immediately followed by the Godowsky arrangement; understandably cautious in these demanding pieces, performed live
• Mozart: Violin sonatas K. 301, 304, 376 and 526 (Hahn/Zhu, DG) impeccable playing but without more personal touches, it's hard to stand out in Mozart; "perfect" doesn't cut it

February 28, 2006 (1 LP)
• Rachmaninoff: piano cto #3 (di Bonaventura/Boston University Sym Orch/Silverstein) Rach 3: slow and cautious, though fairly musical and unique

February 24, 2006 (4 CDs)

Richter/Kondrashin), Prokofiev 1st violin cto (D. Oistrakh/Kubelik) (Andante 4CDs) rigid, crude playing in the Rach 3

January 30, 2006 (14 CDs)
• Britten: War Requiem (New York Phil/Masur, Teldec 2CDs) the high points are few and far between
• Donizetti: Anna Bolena (Sills, Verrett, London Sym/Rudel, DG 3CDs) an underrated, underprogramed opera
• Satie: The Early Piano Works (de Leeuw, Philips 2CDs) pensive, super slow
• Debussy: Complete Piano Music Vol. 2 (Werner Haas, Noel Lee, Philips 2CDs) not sufficiently impressionistic
• Renee Fleming "Signatures" (Fleming/Solti, London) good selections especially the lesser known ones
• Franck, Caplet, Poulenc, Janacek, Stravinsky, Shostakovitch: chamber music (Kremer, Rabinovitch, Robert Levin, Hagen Quartett, etc., ECM Records 2CDs) a mixed bag
• "The 3 Tenors - Paris 1998" (Carreras, Domingo, Pavarotti, Levine, Atlantic Recording Corp.) prefer their two previous performances as they had greater stylistic diversity
• Sibelius: Violin Cto; Goldmark: Violin Cto (Bell/Los Angeles Phil/Salonen, Sony) feminine as well as masculine qualities

December 12, 2005 (4 CDs)
• Bartok: 3 piano concertos (Zimerman, Andsnes, Grimaud/Boulez, DG) so-so, though it's hard to be musical in these largely percussive works
• Tchaikovsky, Korngold: Violin concertos (Mutter/Previn, DG) passionate as usual
• Messiaen, Ravel, Grey, Salonen, Beethoven, Brahms (Josefowicz/Novacek, Warner 2CDs) accessible modern pieces, soothing playing

November 19, 2005 (3 CDs)
• Waxman: Carmen Fantasy; Bartok: Rhapsody for Violin and Piano no 2; Ravel: Tzigane; Sarasate: Zigeunerweisen (Lara St. John/Ilan Rechtman, Well-Tempered Productions) explosive
• Bach: Partita #2, Sonata #3 (Lara St. John, Well-Tempered Productions) too forceful for Bach, though could be due to the microphones being too close
• Wieniawski: Variations for Violin on an original theme, Scherzo-Tarantelle, Polonaise brillante for Violin and Piano no 1; Paganini: Cantabile; Kreisler: Liebesleid, Liebesfreud; Ysaye: Caprice d'apres l'etude en forme de Valse de Saint-Saens (Vengerov, EMI) dreamy; great inclusion of the theme from Schindler's List

October 24, 2005 (3 CDs)
• Rachmaninoff: piano cto #3 (Gelber/Orch Della Svizzera Italiana/Karabtchevsky, Transart) messy, noisy
• Albeniz: Iberia (Hamelin, Hyperion 2CDs) one of his better recordings, though I would prefer more fire

July 5, 2005 (7 CDs)

• "Berlioz Edition": Beatrice et Benedict, Benvenuto Cellini, Les Troyens, Romeo et Juliette, Symphonie fantastique, Grande Symphonie funebre et triomphale, Harold en Italie, Lelio, Marche funebre, Reverie et Caprice, 7 Overtures, La Damnation de Faust, L'enfance du Christ, Requiem, Te Deum, Les nuits d'ete, Lelio, La mort de Cleopatre, Herminie, 5 Songs (Colin Davis, Philips 24CDs) Davis' laid-back style does not appeal to me

June 14, 2005 (7 CDs)
• "The Art of Alicia de Larrocha": Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Schubert, Liszt, Schumann, Soler, Turina, Granados, Mompou, Albeniz, Falla, Ravel, Khachaturian (Decca 7CDs) consistently articulate and delightful

June 13, 2005 (4 CDs)
• Chopin: Piano Sonata #2, Berceuse, Barcarolle; Rachmaninoff: Piano Sonata #2 (Helene Grimaud, DG) too casual and relaxed
• Beethoven: Piano Concertos #2 and 3 (Argerich/Mahler Chamber Orch/Abbado, DG) excessively frenzied in the 3rd concerto, better in the 2nd
• Mozart: Piano Sonatas K281, K282, K576, Fantasia in C minor K396 (Brendel, Philips) a detail-focused interpretation
• Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto #2, Paganini Rhapsody (Lang Lang/Gergiev, DG) virtuosic and unique, though not always convincing

June 2, 2005 (17 CDs)
• Beethoven: piano sonatas #1, 2, 3, 20, 19, 8, 10, 4, 9, 5, 6, 7 (Michael Steinberg, Elysium 3CDs) mediocre, often seems to accelerate unintentionally which is an amateur tendency

• Liszt: Norma Fantasy, Rigoletto Paraphrase, Lucia di Lammermoor Fantasy, etc. (Nicola Frisardi, EMI Austria) a careful but moving Norma Fantasy
• Gershwin "Fascinating Rhythm" (Menuhin, Grappelli, EMI) charming dialogue

May 6, 2005 (53 CDs)
• Richard Strauss: orchestral works (Rudolf Kempe, EMI 9CDs) love it! The best anthological introduction to Strauss
• Yehudi Menuhin: "The Violinist" (EMI 10CDs) hit-and-miss, though surprisingly good in the Paganini 1st cto; he was much better in the mono era
• Wagner: The Ring (Rudolf Moralt 1948/49, Gebhardt 12CDs) a fast-paced performance without a single dull moment; surprisingly good sonics
• Wagner: The Ring (Joseph Keilberth 1952, Archipel 12CDs) far less compelling than Keilberth's 1955 Ring
• Alkan: Grand duo concertant for violin and piano Op.21; Marche funebre Op.26; Trio for piano, violin and cell Op.30; etudes Op.35 Nos.10, 11, 12; Sonata for cello and piano Op.47 (Clark/Welsh/Ronald Smith, APR 2CDs) pleasant chamber music, though not as special as his solo works
• Alkan: Allegro barbaro Op.35/5; Fantaisies Op.41; 12 Etudes Op.39 (Ronald Smith, APR 2CDs) more musical than Hamelin's Alkan
• "The Complete Columbia Recordings 1936-39": Chopin, Liszt, Brahms, Scriabin, Rachmaninov (Anatole Kitain, APR 2CDs) aside from a few inspired moments, mostly forgettable
• "The Virtuoso Liszt": Octave Etude, Gnomenreigen, Hungarian Rhapsodies #2, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, Grand galop chromatique, Paganini Fantaisie (Fiorentino, APR) so-so

• Ravel: Gaspard de la nuit, Piano Concertos, Valses nobles et sentimentales, etc. (Perlemuter, Vox 2CDs) unshowy introspective playing, better technique-wise than in his Nimbus era

April 25, 2005 (8 CDs)

April 14, 2005 (2 CDs)

• Rachmaninov: Piano Cto #1, Paganini Rhapsody (Pletnev/Pesek, Virgin Classics) a fine Rach 1, but iffy Paganini Rhapsody

March 16, 2005 (2 CDs)
• Saint-Saens: Samson et Dalila (Bouvier/Luccioni/Cabanel/Cambon/Fourestier 1946, Naxos Historical 2CDs) good music & performance, despite a dimly recorded orchestra

• Mahler: Sym #2 (rec. 1924!!! Oskar Fried), Kindertotenlieder (Horenstein) (Naxos 2CDs) interesting
• Wagner: Tristan und Isolde (Flagstad/Melchoir/Reiner, rec.1936, Naxos 3CDs) too rushed

• Rachmaninoff: piano concerto #3 (Alexei Orlovezki/Dmitriev), Uncompleted Quartet 1889 (Aristova, Ionova, Rasuvajeva, Voronzov) (WCD) a lifeless Rach 3; lovely quartet

• Beethoven: piano sonatas #11 - 22 (Seymour Lipkin, Newport 3CDs) same as above
• Beethoven: piano sonatas #23 - 32 (Seymour Lipkin, Newport 3CDs) same as above, which works less well for the late sonatas' depth and sublimity

Febuary 14, 2005 (1 CD)
• Rachmaninoff: piano concerto #2 (Alexander Lubiantsev), piano concerto #3 (John Chen) (with conductor Janos Furst, ABC Classics) juvenile playing by two teenage pianists

• Elgar: Violin Concerto; Williams: The Lark Ascending (Hahn/Colin Davis, DG) underappreciated music, justly acclaimed playing
