This review is from: Mindru Katz Plays Johann Sebastian Bach (Audio CD)

Full credit to Cembal D'amour for bringing to light this almost forgotten great master of the piano, Mindru Katz. Unlike his famous compatriots, such as the legendary Dinu Lipatti, Clara Haskil or Radu Lupu, Katz failed to do full justice to his immense talent. This CD of Bach selections presents Mr. Katz with the perfect opportunity to amaze us with his flawless technique and surpassing poetry. Let us hope that this issue, along with another Cembal D'amour release, his magnificent Khachaturian Piano Concerto, would help revive interest in this great artist and credit his talent with the fame and wider recognition he fully deserves.

Very clear and soft tone. A wonderful interpretation and thoroughly enjoyable. Best piano version of concerto in D minor I've ever heard (and I have heard Glenn Gould's). Strongly recommended. Addictive CD.
