Best Gottschalk I've Heard,
By Stephen Doonan "music, art and linux enthusiast" (Portales, NM United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Piano Music 6 (Audio CD)
I became fascinated with Louis Moreau Gottschalk and his music when I heard a performance on vinyl record of his Bamboula in the 1960s. In the decades since, Gottschalk's music has slowly been recovered from obscurity, and now there exist quite a few recordings and interpretations of his work. I have Gottschalk performanced by Cecile Licad (I'm not fond of her performances), Amiram Rigai (don't like it much), Michael Lewin (very nice interpretations), Georges Rabol (fine interpretations) and Klaus Kaufmann.
However, this set of 8 disks of music by Louis Moreau Gottschalk by Philip Martin is far and away the best. The recordings and especially Philip Martin's interpretations, pacing, enunciation of the various simultaneous musical elements, his vigor and charm and technical ability, his care with subtlety and nuance and singing slower phrases, are all just great. I highly recommend this entire set of the piano music of Louis Moreau Gottschalk by Philip Martin.

Incredibly boring,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Piano Music 6 (Audio CD)
I picked one at random. I like Gottschalk so I bought all 8. This is the most dreary, tedious, SLOW, boring bunch of garbage I ever listened to. No one would believe for a minute all the tales of Gottschalk's virtuosity and popularity from listening to this. Show me a tempo faster than a "tune" by Wagner and I'll genuflect to it!
