This review is from: Images / Arabesques (Audio CD)
He is one of the great pianist of our time and this is one of the best Debussy collection available. This is piano playing and musical interpretation of the highest order. I can name only three other pianists who can share this mantle in these works - Walter Gieseking, who was the first great Debussy master,Charles Rosen who penetrated this music to its essence and Jean-Philippe Collard whose unerring touch reveals the soul of this great piano music. Of course others have recorded superlative efforts but in small portions like Sviatoslav Richter,Krystian Zimerman,Van Cliburn,Ivan Moravec,Youri Egorov, and Maurizio Pollini. However, in these keyboard masterpieces, Zoltan Kocsis is the current grand master who you cannot fail to appreciate.
