Schubert: The Piano Sonatas
from: Deutsche Grammophon
: :Wilhelm Kempff was a master of poetic lyricism, with a wondrous keyboard touch and a breathtaking command of subtle dynamics and tonal colorations--all invaluable attributes of any Schubert interpreter. He also had the knack of holding together large structures that can often seem aimless, thus avoiding another trap many pianists fall into, that of lavishing so much attention on passing detail that Schubert's 'heavenly lengths' can seem wayward wanderings. The one criticism often heard is that Kempff emphasizes poetry at ...

The band ranges from a trio with bass and drums for the extended tenor workouts like 'Impressions' and 'Chasin' the Trane'; to an octet on ...

Is There Anybody Out There? / The Wall Live Pink Floyd 1980-81 (Deluxe Limited Edition)
: :Exactly what was Pink Floyd's The Wall? Rock opera? Concept album? Performance art? Mere entertainment? While the truth may lie in a combination of all of the above, during the band's tour of 1980-81, The Wall was a bona fide spectacle. More than anything, Is There Anybody Out There? captures the volume, the bombast, and the grandeur of these famed performances with remarkable accuracy. Meticulously recorded, these concerts are astonishingly faithful to the band's studio versions and flow out of ...

Haydn: Complete Piano Trios
from: Philips
: :Haydn's piano trios deserve far more attention than they receive. As music lovers know, they are every bit as rewarding as his symphonies and string quartets, and also very numerous. They are not, however, true trios as we understand the term now. Essentially, Haydn took the sonata for violin and piano and added a cello part to strengthen the weak bass of contemporary pianos. This doesn't inhibit the quality of the music in any way, but it has prevented modern ...
