1 out of 5 stars Rough ideas for sublime Masterpieces.......2004-10-16

I don't like Mr. Howard too much: his playing is quite often hurried, ungraceful, superficial! Oh yeah, he plays more than 16.000 of quite hard music but is that the real matter of this cyclopean enterprise? He plays almost all in a quick manner, very often with no passion or introspective meditation - a music written mainly for the soul!

"Années de Pèlerinage - Troisième année", S163: played badly, hurried, often vulgar, no elegance or mystic halo. Sometimes his playing seems like "midi-files". I really can't undestand why he hurries so much in a music requiring such theatrical expressiveness, empathization of the musical ideas and deep penetration in the torment of the most religious Liszt! At least, when is written "Lento assai"...
Is that a decent playing? I can remember some young students at the Conservatorium playing those works with more passion, grace and feeling...

Nice pieces in this CD as S245 and S205 but with no doubt, I find the Zoltan Kocsis "Third Year" superlative indeed, not comparable!


5 out of 5 stars "Travel" Vol 3 is another winner.......2000-01-13

The third entry in the famous "Annee de Pelerinage" is delightful, and played with Leslie Howard's customary skill. The other pieces are very interesting too.
