5.0 out of 5 stars Simply breathtaking, Aug 5 2003
By A Customer
Van Cliburn, who in 1958 became as much of a celebrity as Elvis, is one of the world's greatest ever pianists. I have never heard anyone play Liszt with so much gravity and understanding. Part of this may be because Van Cliburn's hands are so enormous, nearly as large as Liszt's.

This recording of the Sonata is a must-have. The first eerie notes are played with spine-tingling anticipation, then comes the climatic theme, with technical stunts to make your head swim. Mr. Cliburn comes through it all without an error and with an astonishing amount of passion and fire. The songs fades away eerily, just as it began.

Un Sospiro is one of my favorite pieces ever, and Van Cliburn plays it marvelously. The melody is split between the two hands, which causes the left to have to cross over the right often and very quickly, but the melody remains very even and so lyrical it brings tears to the eyes. Van Cliburn is the only pianist to date who has been able to make me cry with the sheer beauty of his sound, and it is undoubtedly his legendary, singing approach to the keys.

All of the other pieces on the CD are simply marvelous, and the wild, swirling Mephisto Waltz provides a fitting end to this stunning CD. Encore!
