Alicia De Larrocha is the master of Mozart Piano works.,
By Smaug "Jeremy" (Round Lake Beach, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: V2 Alicia De Larrocha: Bach/Ha (Audio CD)
I bought this CD because I already have one CD where she plays 2 of Mozart's late piano concertos. Mozart is my favorite composer and Alicia De Larrocha plays his piano music better than anyone I've ever heard.The first CD consists of great works other than that of Mozart. In her recording of Bach's Italian Concerto, she slows down the last few notes too much in order to add drama. It sounds better when played as the composer intended. In spite of this minor criticism, she plays Bach wonderfully too. The works on CD1 by Scarlatti, Handel, and Haydn are good also, but not as good as the Bach. This is just a musical opinion though. CD2 is the reason I bought this; to hear the great De Larrocha play Mozart piano sonatas. She is the best I've ever heard for Mozart piano. She doesn't stab at the notes in order to accentuate them, as some do, and she doesn't blur them all together. She plays it perfectly in the middle, the way it was meant to be played. I only wish I could find more of Alicia's recordings of Mozart Piano Sonatas and Concertos. She is the abolute master of his works. This 2 CD set was worth every penny of the $23 or whatever it cost. Once you her De Larrocha play Mozart, you will start to hear flaws in other virtuosos' playing. She puts Daniel Barenboim to shame. Barenboim always sounds rushed to me; as if he is trying to show how good he is by playing faster.

Masterful and Musical,

This review is from: V2 Alicia De Larrocha: Bach/Ha (Audio CD)
This pianist is very easy to like; everything she does is done musically, so she brings out the character of the piece rather than grandstanding. I enjoy this two-CD set a great deal. I got it for the "Andante con variazioni in F minor" by Haydn, but like the Bach, Scarlatti and Handel as well on CD1, and the four Mozart sonatas on CD2.This is also a very well-produced set: the pieces were recorded on six different occasions but give the feel of a custom-made album. As in all the sets of this series (Great Pianists of the Twentieth Century) the package is just right. It has plenty of text, easy CD access, and the 2-CD package fits into a single jewel-case slot!

Alicia De Larrocha,
By joan craft (Milford, DE USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: V2 Alicia De Larrocha: Bach/Ha (Audio CD)
This recording is without a doubt the best version of Bach's Italian Concerto I've ever heard. While remaining true tot he Baroque style, Ms. De Larrocha's performance is expressive and so very musical. The entire CD is exquisite.
