5 out of 5 stars Bravo Maestro- a MUST BUY.......2006-10-04

One of the true piano giants- the Schuman Fantasy is a miracle. Everything else is beautufully molded. There are some embelishments which make the label of "literalist" meaningless refer to the the Lizst piece. He belongs with the great pianists on the Mount Olympus of techique and style. These recordings from the late 20's to early 30's are a complement to his British acoustic recordings and the recordings he made in his mature greatness.
