Liszt/Ginsburg

Amazon.com
Grigory Ginsburg is another of those obscure Russian pianists whose LPs are highly sought by collectors. He was a major league virtuoso with an outgoing temperament, although he could give intelligent performances of mainstream classical music as well. In these Liszt transcriptions, despite the rather limited mono sound, his playing is extremely exciting and gratifying. What a pleasure to hear those melodies sing and those runs so dazzlingly played. This is one of the most valuable issues in the Russian Piano School series, and ought to be followed by an extensive or even complete Ginsburg Edition. --Leslie Gerber

Customer Reviews:

not half bad.......2000-03-26

The first disc, especially the Hungarian Rhapsodies, is really wondeful and I suppose worth the price of the album. But the second is about as bad as the first is good. The choice of music is second-rate at best, and the piano on the Tchaikovsky sonata (which is a pretty dreadful piece anyway) sounds like Aunt Polly's out-of-tune parlor upright. I also wish that the people who designed these albums had come up with better packaging--it's very difficult to remove the discs without touching the recorded side.

The Liszt is Amazing.......2000-01-08

The only better version of Liszt is John McArthur's, on the album HIDDEN. Besides that, nothing can compare to the sonic beauty and poetry and thunder of Grigory Ginsburg.
