About this product
Horowitz's InchChopin SonataInch comes close an ideal realization. The gimmicks are absent and that decision makes sense in the Chopinesque context. The InchFuneral March is played with an icy cold touch, most impressive and InchThe FinaleInch is breathtakin in it's shimmering speed. Rachmaninoff is steely under his hands, and driven to a tremendous climax. Schumann is charmingly played, without the usual Horowitz artifice. He must have loved this piece. Finally Liszt Horowitz made it more complicated and more showy than Liszt did himself. It certainly is a colossal tour de force of brilliant pianism. This 1962 recording has been flawlessly remastered with depth and musicality. A master at his best.

The music of Ravel is especially close to Alexandre Tharaud's heart. Now, in partnership with the Orchestre National de France and conductor Louis Langrée, he has recorded both the composer's piano concertos, pairing them with Noches en los jardines de España (Nights in the Gardens of Spain), Manuel de Falla's sumptuous work for piano and orchestra. InchRavel's Concerto in G major is fresh and Mozartian in it's colours, while his Concerto for the Left Hand is haunted by dark shades and suppressed fears,Inch says Tharaud. Both concertos were premiered in 1932. InchCharacteristically for Ravel, they are simultaneously unique and alike. They share meticulous craftsmanship and jazzy touches, and both evoke little automata and the ghosts of war.Inch The cross-currents of French and Spanish culture, so evident in Ravel's aesthetic, flow though Falla's concerto-like piece too. The Andalusian composer lived for a time in Paris and became friendly with Ravel. InchThe solo piano in Noches en los jardines de España plays a different role from the piano in the Ravel concertos,Inch continues Tharaud. InchIt blends in more closely with the orchestra, though the works share a Romantic spirit and a poignant sense of nostalgia.Inch Album Tracks 1. Piano Concerto in G Major, M. 83 I. Allegramente 2.
