Unlike those of his contemporaries, the performances of Benno Moiseiwitsch (1890-1963) rarely, if ever, sound dated. Pearl's two-disc release of the pianist's complete acoustic recordings, made between 1916 and 1925, shows that he shared with the greatest pianists of his era a singing tone, plasticity of line, colorful palette, and, yes, even an occasional tendency to make "improvements" in the composer's text. But Moiseiwitsch's rich sense of fantasy, his discovery of inner lines, and his subtle phrasing always yield insights into the music he played. In Chopin's F-sharp Impromptu, his mastery of glints and shading makes other pianists sound stiff. The rippling scale passages and elaborate ornamentation of the same composer's "Berceuse" have never been more elegant or hypnotic. And his performances of Ravel's "Jeux d'eau" and Debussy's "Jardins dans la pluie," with their rapid tempos and incisive accentuations, are far removed from the ethereal, perfumed approach as common in our age as in his. These 80-year-old recordings demonstrate that Moiseiwitsch's performances sound as fresh and beautiful as ever. --Stephen Wigler

Relaxation to Moiseiwitsch.......2001-08-01
Have you had a long stressful day and you just need to sit back and relax? Then you should try this album. All the music is soothing and relaxing, full of the sounds of great classical music. Moisewitsch has a great talent--a true master of his time. His work will live on for generations. I especially recommend tracks #5 and #10 on the first disk. Listen to all the elements that make classical music so great.
