Anything that starts off with Shura Cherkassky's delicious account of a Tango by Albéniz has got to have something going for it, and this set seems to score over and over again. It's an interesting piece of programming, since having got off to a Spanish start, we are led through Bach (traditionally the starter), Balakirev (his famously unplayable Islamey thrown off coolly by Julius Katchen), Bartók, Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Debussy, Gershwin, Gottschalk, Granados, Grieg, and Handel. One thing they certainly all have in common is the passion of the title, and they are well served by our guides, who include Tureck, Kempff, Kocsis, Lill, Barenboim, Argerich, Michelangeli, De Larrocha, Gilels, and Gavrilov. It is worth mentioning so many, since these are top names in their respective fields and it gives an indication of what you can expect from this set. And while you would rightly expect veteran Spanish pianist Alicia de Larrocha to give us the full treatment in Albéniz and Granados, listen to her delightful piece of Handel, which concludes the set. Recordings range in time from 1955 to 1998, and the freshness of the playing transcends changes in recording technology during those years. --Keith Clarke

Great Classical Piano.......2005-08-04

I picked up this CD because it had some of my favorite piano pieces of Bach, Brahms and Bartok on it.

The renditions on these discs are terrific. And every single selection is really worth listening to- this is some of the best classical piano out there. If you're like me and aren't really concerned about owning the complete Bach, Brahms, Chopin, etc, this is the disc to pick up for a good sampling of it all.

And it's a good value too. Two discs for the price of one!

Gottschalk by List.......2001-09-28

Charming piano solos. Portents of Ragtime and Copeland that will come in the future. Pieces use many piano skills not usually played in such a clear way. (Would be good recital pieces for moderately advanced piano students.) Just well done and lots of fun for someone who thinks the piano is special all by itself. Also, an eye-opener for those who listen for familiar folk melodies in unfamiliar style.

Good disc for pianists who want to play Gottschalk.......2000-04-05

Technically brilliant, but the disc was actually recorded in 1956, and as a result the sound quality is somewhat tinny.

I received the music book "Piano Music of Louis Moreau Gottschalk" (Dover, Richard Jackson, ed. -- highly recommended!) for my birthday, and needed a CD that let me know what the songs should sound like. (I hate to count, and have a lousy sense of rhythm.) This CD contained more of the songs in the book than any other I could find.

For a general introduction to all periods of Gottschalk's piano music, I'd suggest "Selected Piano Music of Louis Moreau Gottschalk" by Lambert Orkis (Smithsonian Collection of Recordings, 1988). The Orkis disc was recorded in 1982, and the sound quality is excellent. Orkis plays a Chickering grand piano of the sort that Gottschalk hauled around with him on tour, and the pieces shine brilliantly when played on the instrument for which they were written.
