5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite Piano As Only Horowitz Can Provide!, September 8, 2000

C. Moss "Buxthehude" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Beethoven: Sonatas (Audio CD)

This CD is a true gem of piano literature. Mr. Horowitz demonstrates his legendary technique, flawless phrasing, and artistic pedaling throughout the works recorded here. His interpretations of the Beethoven Sonatas are very different from Brendel, et al. But they are very musically satisfying in his own unique, personal style. He truly was an uncannily magnificent artist at the piano. And I recommend this CD to anyone who wants to hear world-class playing! I treasure my copy of this CD among by absolute favorites.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, February 17, 2002

Nancy B. Mckim "Farm Girl" (Lancaster, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Beethoven: Sonatas (Audio CD)

This is the most amazing classical piano CD I've ever heard. I played it continually during the first weekend that I owned it. Horowitz makes many other pianists playing these songs sound dull. The Appassionata captivates me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful -- Buy it AND the Alfred Brendel, October 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Beethoven: Sonatas (Audio CD)

The technique is awesome, astonishing, impossible (don't give this one to your piano students to copy.) Over time, I've come to appreciate the Alfred Brendel's as musically superior, but the experience of these is not to be missed -- and the first time you hear it, it will knock your socks off!
