| Description |
Who was the defining composer of the 20th Century ? Not an easy task to choose, because the beginning of the century had such masters as Mahler and Sibelius, but the 20th Century was later an all Russian affair if you ask me (and no, i am not even Russian). I love the music of Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Stravinsky and Schnittke.
And the best composer of Piano works is to me by far this man: Sergey Sergeyevich PROKOFIEV (1891-1953). His Piano Works was released in 1990-93 on 9 cd's by Chandos. I have 5 of them and they are all absolutely brilliant. I have been enjoying these recordings some 10-15 years already. So i though, why not share them with you ? I will... here is Vol.1
Ripped today with dBpoweramp. AccurateRip LOG incl. tells 18 tracks accurate, only the last track 19 was inaccurate after even ultra-secure ripping - but i listened through it after ripping and couldn't hear any errors - it shouldn't bother you then i hope.
High-res Cover art included + Booklet PDF in Eng, Ger, Fre.
Enjoy ! 4 Volumes will come later. Prokofiev, who was persecuted by Stalin and fate had it that he had to die on the very same day as Stalin. What a tragedy ! But his music lives on and his output for Piano is to me the Best of the 20th Century. I have Vol. 1,2,3,4,8. If somebody out there can post the missing volumes, please do that !
