4.0 out of 5 stars Lush romanticism, October 13, 2001
By Eugene C. Braig IV "euge-o-rama" (Columbus, OH United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Raphaella Smits is a competent player with a lush, expansive tone and panache for grand, romantic interpretation. This approach to Mertz is absolutely gorgeous. The Mazurka, "Souvenir de Choulhoff," and the Schubertian songs, "Standchen" and "Liebesbotschaft," are especially powerful. Giuliani is of the generation before Mertz, the age of sprightly high classicism and rigid adherence to sonata-allegro form. Unfortunately, while the Smits' aesthetic enhances Mertz's compositions, interpreting Giuliani in this way seems somehow constricting. The Grand Ouverture in particular comes off as almost lethargic.
