Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
These works by composers usually thought to be very different from each other actually have much in common aside from being based on the music of Paganini. Each in its way is meant as the composers' exploration of the technique of the piano, inspired by Paganini's violin virtuosity, to extend what was possible on their own instrument. Brahms's Variations were also inspired by visits he had with the virtuoso pianist Karl Tausig, a Liszt pupil. Evelyne Brancart, a Belgian pianist, solves all the technical problems and manages to make poetic music. The disc may be short (47:40), but it is also a bargain. --Leslie Gerber

Philips' 100-volume Great Pianists of the 20th Century series is one of the most ambitious projects ever put together by a record company. For all the debate that will surely ensue over who was chosen and who was passed over, it's obvious that careful, loving attention has gone into the selection of content for the happy 72 to be admitted to this special pantheon (certain especially significant pianists are allotted two or even three volumes, such as Vladimir Horowitz). Each of the handsomely designed, sepia-tinted volumes--adorned with a black and white photo--contains two CDs and a thoughtful essay on the artist in question. Prospective buyers should be aware that this sampler volume offers only short vignettes (averaging between two and three minutes), along with a thumbnail sketch, for each pianist. Still, it's a smorgasbord of morsels that allow you to taste some of the major trends in philosophy and approach to the instrument throughout the century (and reaching well back into the 19th), and the overlap of repertory permits some fascinating quick comparisons as style and technique have evolved. Delve into some of the artists in the series--say Alfred Brendel or Martha Argerich--and trace in greater depth the piano's identity crisis. Is it, for example, a resonantly string-like instrument ideal for pastel shadings or a steely, percussive machine meant to express the hardness of the 20th century? There are countless discoveries to be made here, both for the connoisseur and for anyone taking the first step into getting acquainted with great keyboard artistry. --Thomas May

5 out of 5 stars Tantalizing preview of good things to come.......2003-01-07

This is an introductory 2-CD set to introduce a very grand series of CD's featuring the 20th Century's greatest pianists.
As a sampler, there are some incredible jewels here, for example Nikita Magaloff's sparkling Chopin Tarantelle and Paganini Etude No.3: 'La Campanella' played excitingly by John Ogdon. There is even an early recording of Paderewski playing (predictably) Paderewski.

This sampler seems a bit of a Euro-centric, but the editors wisely chose to include Earl Wild doing Gershwin and Roslyn Tureck doing Bach. I ended up purchasing the Andre Watts volume from this series, and wondered what it would be like to own the whole shootin' match. I saw the entire CD series on display in a top notch music store in Germany--it was overwhelming to see the line of brown covers stretching impressively across an entire wall. The sampler is a good way to have a taste of this ambitious series of the giants of piano in the 20th Century. I listen to it often with great enjoyment.

4 out of 5 stars RE: Glenn Gould.......2001-05-23

RE: Those of you who complained/rejoiced about Gould's abscence: he is not on the sampler, true, I believe for... purposes or something along those lines. Rudolf Serkin is also not included, but both are among the "greatest pianists of the 20th Century" set.

5 out of 5 stars Missing no one except Katia Skanavi.......2001-04-19

I was pleased after reading the list of performers to see that Gould's machine-gun jiffy-pop piano "playing" is not included. I would like to hear more of Skanavi tho.

3 out of 5 stars Forget Somebody?.......2000-09-21

Although I understand that it must have been very diffiult to decide which pianists got put in the collection, let alone a two-disc sampler, I still feel that any anthology of the piano (other than one highlighting the romantic era)should contain at least one piece by Gould, yet this one doesn't. Gould has been almost unanimously hailed as one of the most influential artist of the twentieth century, yet he is not included on this disc. Other than that, a great buy.

5 out of 5 stars Unparalled Excellence (Mark G. Davis).......1999-08-01

If you only purchase one classical piano cd in your entire life, this one should be it. All the masters, at their very best on it.

If you have piano cd's, this should be part of that collection. I purchased one, almost not believing what I read on the jacket. I'm telling my friends about this one, as I'm aware of no other CD having all those piano masters - - at any price?)...

Victor Merzhanov has not yet appeared in Melodiya's "Russian Piano School" series, but some collectors may remember him from a couple of LPs issued on the Monitor label. (He did make a number of LPs in Russia, most of them never issued here.) In these examples of Paganiniana, Merzhanov shows tremendous fluency and powerful tone that come through the old mono recording. These are among the most exciting versions of these selections ever recorded, and extremely musical as well. Alas, there is enough blank space on the disc for Merzhanov's thrilling Rachmaninov Third Concerto too, but what is here is memorable. --Leslie Gerber

5 out of 5 stars The Great pianist of 20th century - Victor Merzhanov........1999-12-17

Victor Merzhanov is the greatest pianist of 20th century. He is well-known by his recordings of Rachmaninov, Chopin, Grieg, Schumann, Mussorgsky and many other composers. I studied with Professor Merzhanov at the Moscow State Conservatory. He is also a outstanding teacher as well as a pianist. This CD shows a brilliant piano technique of old Russian Piano School, which Professor Merzhanov represents. Even if it is an old mono recording, we can hear all colors of pianist's possibilities. I reccommend this CD to all classical music lovers who would like to listen to world-class level pianist such as Professor Victor Merzhanov.

    5 out of 5 stars shimmer and sparkle.......2003-08-14

    These keyboard studies are stunning in their often flashy complexity, but also have a wonderful, simple beauty to them.
    The Liszt "Six Paganini Studies" are glittering delights, played with brilliance and astounding virtuosity. Some of the melodies are old musical friends, like the famous "La Campanella" (track # 3), and perhaps the most familiar of all, on track # 6, which is used in the other 2 compositions, as well as the Rachmaninoff "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini".

    The Ignaz Friedman (1882-1948) "Studies" Op. 47 have a more romantic feel to them; less hurried, softer, and are played with enormous feeling and sensitivity. Friedman, it is noted in the liner notes, was "one of the greatest piano virtuosi of the early 20th century", and was known for his "technique of double notes", which is why Op. 47 is "shot though with double-note texture".
    The Brahms "Variations on a Theme by Paganini" has, as one would imagine, the most "forte" passages on the CD; it is a strong, marvelous piece, with a powerful finale.

    This is the first time I have heard Matti Raekallio, and I am astounded by his technical mastery and artistry. Born in Finland, he has that special "touch" that makes a good pianist great.
    The sound is crystal clear, and the total time is 62:44.

    5 out of 5 stars Listen to the sample clips and you'll know why...........2001-07-20

    Franz Liszt is among the most beloved composers. Every pianist (especially the more advanced ones) would fall in love with Liszt the way they do for Chopin. His pieces are challenging but irresistible. The first piece by Liszt I fell in love with was La Capanella. I have a collection of La Campanella played by different pianists, including this one. Frankly, this one is my favorite. Very beautiful, poetic, and each note acts like a soft touch to the very bottom of your heart. The other pieces in this CD are very great also, but just La Campanella alone is worth buying already. Listen to the sample clips and you'll feel it for yourself....

        These works by composers usually thought to be very different from each other actually have much in common aside from being based on the music of Paganini. Each in its way is meant as the composers' exploration of the technique of the piano, inspired by Paganini's violin virtuosity, to extend what was possible on their own instrument. Brahms's Variations were also inspired by visits he had with the virtuoso pianist Karl Tausig, a Liszt pupil. Evelyne Brancart, a Belgian pianist, solves all the technical problems and manages to make poetic music. The disc may be short (47:40), but it is also a bargain. --Leslie Gerber
