The fact that Youra Guller could have been overlooked in the 'Great Pianists of the Century' series on the one hand, and is such an earth-shattering, life-changing phenomanon on the other makes this disc a thrilling discovery; a one-choice desert island disc (ideally I'd be allowed 2, and take the Cortot, Thibaud, Casals Archduke/Schubert Bb along as well..).I know this recording backwards; it's too moving for words.

If you must own only 1 classical piano cd. Please make it this one. And get a good sterio to to listen to it on. Your neighbors will thank you.

The Art of YOURA GULLER has become one of my favourite discs of all time.Why? its a trip to magic. I bought a cd sampler of nimbus a lot of years ago in england where a track of this recording was included ,GRANADOS to be specific. I was ecstatic by the perfomance. I felt floating into the sentiment of music. Its so difficult to describe the artistic flair of a genious. And Youra is not a virtuoso who plays to impress us only with her technical skills.She is here to unlock the emotions of our heart. God bless her wherever she is.

Youra Guller is little known in the US but a pianist of simply astonishing range. From Beethoven to Granados to Albeniz, her work is truly on the level of Horowitz and Rubinstein. You won't go wrong with this compilation.
