Busoni
Bach: Goldberg Variations & Corea: Children’s Songs (Profil)
Elegance and restraint characterise this cool account, complemented by some interesting bonuses [RMo]
Busoni: Piano Concerto (SWR Classic)
A worthy performance of this massive work but others are better [SB]
Busoni: Doktor Faust (Dynamic)
Good singing and lighting do not outweigh poor orchestral playing and perverse staging [SB]
Igor Levit (piano): Fantasia (Sony Classical)
Another outstanding recital from Levit, with a superb version of the big Busoni work [SB]
Busoni: Sonatinas (Centaur)
(Déjà Review) Slotchiver is an ardent disciple of Busoni and her playing is authoritative [CSS]
Claudio Arrau (piano) The Early Years (Marston)
(Déjà Review) No Arrau admirer would want to be without it [JW]
Adams: Shaker Loops (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) An ideal very inexpensive introduction to one of the most stimulating composers currently before the public [JQ]
Busoni: Piano Concerto (Hyperion)
(Déjà Review) A landmark disc of an epic, landmark concerto, one of the finest in the Hyperion series [CF]
Busoni: Works for Piano & Orchestra (Music & Arts)
(Déjà Review) Grante is impressive, enthusiastic, comprehensive, technically eloquent and idiomatic [JW]
