4.0 out of 5 stars Stars, July 1, 2003

This review is from: Brave New World (Audio CD)

(So...Let's try to tell all in english language!...)

You can shine by your courage. You can shine by your kindness. You can shine by your love of live. You can shine by your absence, or your silence. You can shine by your humour or your seriousness.

You can shine by your voice, your eyes, your feet, your arms, your head. Doing your proper way, whit or whitout asking yourself where you are going on, and why you're doing things.

Mister Helfgott is just a man who shines by his heart, his head and his fingers...

As many other people, i discovered the pianist by the moovy "Shine"...But...
I am a pianist too...And I know how hard it is to acquier a hight technicity and to take from the keyboard the most beautiful sounds that a piano is abble to give. When the player is not too bad!...
I've already have listen to so many famous, talented and brillants artists.
But I never was transported by the music like I was when I listened to the play of this man!
Mister Helfgott is not a genius only because of his incredible memoring and playing capacities, his music's understanding and sensibility, but also to make a success of recreated music's worlds, especially romantic works, even whith a wall always standing in front of him.

Here, whith this musician, the pianist doesn't only plays music.
He has choosed music as a unique and authentique way of communication.

I still persuaded that this musician only showed us one part of his incredible and unique gift.
The visible iceberg's part...

Helfgott delivers a very heartfelt human performance and the repetoire suits him well. If I were to purchase a Helfgott CD, this one is special ;)

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, sublime virtuosity, August 31, 2008

This review is from: Brave New World (Audio CD)

Have all the Helfgott available except Pictures at an Exhibition. (Found in the nick of time that's what what was on it - for program music, I prefer Mickey Mouse in The Sorcerer's Apprentice.) And love them all. This anthology is no exception. Helfgott is/was (is he still alive?) a virtuoso of the first water. Love his playing. This anthology has Gershwin's 3 preludes on it. Like them. Usually find them (like on Heifetz) transcribed for violin. But the whole album is good. Highly recommended.
