Horowitz's 1965 return to public performance after 12 years of just studio work is presented here as originally recorded, including the wrong notes he played. Yes, nervousness is a problem even for such a well-known and expert musician. For previous releases of this Carnegie Hall recital, Horowitz re-recorded a few of the more obvious errors. The ...
Here is a CD reissue that collectors have sought for decades: John Ogdon's magnificent 1967 EMI Angel recording of Ferruccio Busoni's Piano Concerto, Op. 39, with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under Daniell Revenaugh. This was the first commercial recording of Busoni's elephantine concerto, which is in five movements, calls for male chorus in ...

To many listeners, she is a peerless performer of Iberian (particularly Spanish and Catalan) music. Indeed, as her rendition of Manuel de Falla's Nights in the Gardens of Spain demonstrates, ...

Wright, like most great classical clarinetists (outside of Benny Goodman), did not get to make studio recordings in a number that seems appropriate given his exalted status. Boston Records has been ...
Titled Horizons and subtitled "A Personal Collection of Piano Encores," Leif Ove Andsnes' 2006 release can only make longtime fans of his playing ask three little questions: Andsnes? Encores? Really?
