Simply Magnificent

He is one of the great pianist of our time and this is one of the best Debussy collection available. This is piano playing and musical interpretation of the highest order. I can name only three other pianists who can share this mantle in these works - Walter Gieseking, who was the first great Debussy master,Charles Rosen who penetrated this music to its essence and Jean-Philippe Collard whose unerring touch reveals the soul of this great piano music. Of course others have recorded superlative efforts but in small portions like Sviatoslav Richter,Krystian Zimerman,Van Cliburn,Ivan Moravec,Youri Egorov, and Maurizio Pollini. However, in these keyboard masterpieces, Zoltan Kocsis is the current grand master who you cannot fail to appreciate.

What can I say...This is my THIRD purchased copy! Zoltan is phenominal...

OK...If you are a lover of impressionist/romantic era music that ill-defines Debussy contribution, you owe it to yourself to get this album of Zoltan Kocsis playing Debussy. It is masterful, especially Images 1 and II. Although there were several places in the album that I disagree with Zoltan's interpretation of the piece -- one part in L'Isle Joyeuse comes to mind that he slows down like way too much -- it is, by far, my FAVORITE Debussy album and the ONLY one I've purchased 3 times.
I study Zoltan's renditions repeatedly and, at times, play to them. I never tire of hearing them. This CD has inspired me to take on and attempt to master some of Debussy's most challenging masterpieces for solo piano. Guess that's why I am on my third CD.
