    5 out of 5 stars One of Horowitz , Richter and Gilels's Idols and Models.......2003-01-29

    Excellent recordings in Moscow in 1950s, almost as good as any modern recording!

    Sofronitsky ranks almost on par with Rachmaninoff: both are deeply heart-felt, both are very poetic. The only difference is, with Rachmaninoff we have "a heart of gold" which is most nostalgic, and with Sofronitski we have a princely nobility so full of fragrance. Both Richter and Gilels regarded Sofronitsky their idol, not just Horowitz.

    With much regret, both Rachmaninoff and Sofronitsky are extinct now. Horowitz, Richter, Gilels each reminiscent of a few facets of either of them and by doing so each had won himself enormous fortune and fame...

    Highly recommended for those who are prepared go behind the manipulation of commercialism into the magic of breathing life into music plus the art of instilling nobility and fragrance into life.

    5 out of 5 stars Great great playing: listen to the Chopin Schrezo in b minor.......2001-01-13

    Sofronitsky's style may be a little bit bland for my taste but the mood and atmosphere he creates is phenomenal!!! Must listen his rendition of the b minor Schrezo. Absolutly great. Never has anyone made this piece seem ever so more alive and filled with anguish.
