Customer Reviews:

Like the curate's egg - good in parts.......2001-03-18

Much of the material in this CD has had very limited circulation, and several items are published for the first time. There is some sprightly playing in the Bach Partita, but what is here is incomplete and was recorded in 1940 and 1934. Gieseking's way of making everything seem simple and clear has rarely endeared his Beethoven playing to me. It's appropriate for the Sonata No 20 perhaps, but this 15 minute performance of the Sonata No 30 is not a success. The Brahms and Chopin items are similarly run through at top speed, but here some of the magic comes across. Works by Faure and Scriabin occupy the last five tracks. Hitherto unpublished, they are amongst the best recordings here. Some of the source material in the early tracks betrays its slightly damaged 78 origin.

So this is like the curate's egg - good in parts. It forms the first of a three volume "retrospective", its duration is 78 minutes, and it includes authoritative notes by Allan Evans.
