Product Description

From Amazon.com

Ruth Slenczynska was one of the most famous piano prodigies ever. But after her childhood career, which did not include any recordings, she withdrew from performing and later published an autobiography detailing the hellish life her father had imposed on her. Slenczynska returned to public performance in the early 1950s, but she has never had a major career as an adult and has made only a few LPs. Ivory Classics has taken an interest in Slenczynska, reissuing a disc of uneven performances from early mono LPs (70802) and a superb live concert from the 1980s (70902). This is her first studio recording in decades, made in 1999. Although her technique is never in doubt, Slenczynska slights the virtuosic elements of Carnaval somewhat, making hers a performance mostly for introverts. In the more consistently lyrical music of Kinderszenen, though, she is rivetingly intense and very moving. She reads some rhythms in the opening movement of the Sonata rather oddly, but otherwise gives us a splendid performance, full of drama. The best elements of this disc make it well worth hearing. --Leslie Gerber

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have in every pianist's library!, Dec 22 2011

W. Tung - See all my reviews

This review is from: Carnival/Kinderszenen/Son (Audio CD)

If you play piano, you need to know her. If you do know how to play piano, you need to listen to her playing. If you are playing piano for profession sake, you need to learn from her. There are profound musicality in every SINGLE note, between two notes -- not just a bar, a phrase! This is music from heaven by an angel from heaven! I thank God, I have the privilege to hear her play since 1987 and I love her music ever since.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uncommon Clarity, Oct 11 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Carnival/Kinderszenen/Son (Audio CD)

Schumann's inner voices have never been clearer than they are in Slenczynska's new recording. Hers are revisionist interpretations of remarkable importance.
