where is Fiorentino and Berman!?among MANY others.
To me, the most surprising inclusion is Ingrid Haebler.
Her Mozart is nice… very clean and warm, but certainly not legendary.
Meanwhile Annie Fischer is 10x the Mozart player, AND she plays Beethoven, Schubert and Liszt etc.
chris, can u recommend any shostachovic?
for tha concertos pozz Eugene List
ha, u r certainly provokative. I feel its not a bad set. Sure, many greats are left out, and yes, some do not deserve to be mentioned along with others and yes, not every pianist had their best recordings include, and of course, there are simply too many repeats of the same work. (U’d think a project this size would include a fascinating array of works…)
But overall it is a good anthology, and gives a rather good introduction to all the pianists in the set. Of course, they’re all compilations, and if you have the cash, its probably better idea to buy the original issues. but $1.50 to each disc ‘feels about right’? that’s kindda undervaluing many great playings.
In terms of choices and sound engineering, it could have been done a million times better.

i just got as a competition present a set of cds from the national institute and till now i only listened to Fou Ts’ong Chopin Mazurkas on an Erard piano
