Description
Younger classical piano aficionados tend to forget the staggering impact the late, great Russian pianist Lazar Berman had on Western listeners when he premiered outside of the old Soviet Union. Concert audiences went nuts for Berman's awesome technique and rich, rich command of stellar keyboard works especially by early piano virtuoso composers like Liszt and Russian masters. Here on offer probably the very finest recital set Berman ever made for DGG. These three disks capture the leonine Berman at peak maturity in his amazing, deeply nuanced, wistful, and heartfelt takes on Liszt's greatest piano achievement the Annees de Plerinage. Penguin Guide and Good Classical Music Guide equally laud these epoch-making performances by Berman. Sharp critics salute Berman's "finest inspiration" in these recordings..."Berman's technique is fabulous...the playing enormously authoritative..Berman brings searching qualities to this music...Berman's resource here is remarkable and his performance is hauntingly inward and sympathetic to the radiance..." ALL TOO TRUE! Better yet, all this splendor is perfectly captured by full DGG Stereo sound recording, processing, and disk production. 3-Disk Set Serial No. 22740 175 (German Issue). All Disks dated 1977. Disk Deadwax Mechanically Stamped S1 = 320 (Side 1) and S2 = 320 (Side 2), S3 = 320 (Side 3), S4 = 320 (Side 4), S5 = 320 (Side 5), and S6 = 320 (Side 6). indicating First Edition and First Pressings from the Masters. Under bright light, all disks appear pristine and flawless with very high-gloss vinyl retained on all sides. Play Grading reveals dead-quiet surfaces with superb miking of the solo instrument. Just gorgeous, shimming and atmospheric recording fidelity in all tracks. Stout Box Set is Near-Mint, too. Box Seams all firmly intact. Not a Cut-Out. Inner plastic-lined DGG paper sleeves of era. Huge and richly illustrated liner note booklet. Simply a marvelous recording capturing Berman with all the incandescent talent streaming on authentic keyboard pilgrimage and at the apogee of his interpretive skills.
