This collection is billed as "a collection of the most popular works for cello performed by the greatest cellists of our time" and while one could quibble about the inclusion of, say, the Intermezzo from Granados' Goyescas and the exclusion of, say, any Brahms, or about the inclusion of Christina Walewska and the exclusion of Anner Bylsma, one ...
Originally released by BMG Germany in 1993, Gerhard Oppitz's recordings of Edvard Grieg's complete works for solo piano are reissued in this impressive 2004 collection, an important compendium for serious collectors and music libraries, but not necessarily required for casual listeners. For most, this seven-disc box set might seem like an ...
Over the past 100 years, there have been recordings of the complete Brahms' symphonies that rank with the greatest recordings of anything ever made. There are wonderful Weingartners, the fabulous Furtwänglers, the monumental Klemperers, the amazing Abbados...the list goes on and on.

This is Beethoven playing: lucid but passionate, strong but sensitive, restrained but soulful, and always and everywhere immensely profound. Although this is not Gerhard Oppitz's first disc of Beethoven's sonatas -- when he had a contract with RCA back in the '90s, Oppitz released a disc of the Pastoral, Tempest, and Les Adieux -- but it is far ...
