This album is extremely well recorded and pressed. There is no surface noise to speak of, and the quality of the performance by Burkard Schliessmann is superb. As with most people that love classical music, I have many different Chopin albums. There are many pianists that excel playing Chopin. Some of my favorite Chopin albums are by Martha Argerich (especially her “Legendary Recordings”), Artur Rubinstein, and Van Cliburn. Burkard is certainly as accomplished as any other pianists I have heard, and a joy to listen to.

What makes this album so outstanding is the sound quality. Simply put, I have never heard a piano as well recorded as on this album. It sounds like we are sitting next to the piano!

Yes, it is expensive, but it is worth it! I can not imagine anyone disappointing with their purchase of this state of the art recording and pressing.

“This monumental piano release features Michael Finnissy’s Verdi Transcriptions plus English Country-Tunes, and other compositions inspired by 19th century music. Soloist Ian Pace is a leading interpreter of Finnissy’s work, and has played his complete output for piano. Finnissy’s output is prolific, political and complex – he’s a leading late modernist.… luxuriant but challenging textures of the school often called new complexity.” —Andy Hamilton, The Wire Marvelous new MusicWeb International review for Edward Cowie: Because They Have Songs, before its release this Friday! “Buller is a composer who knows how to imbue feelings with ample warmth, colour and tension that keep the ear immersed in his sonic worlds. The musical language is largely tonal, with some roots in sacred choral traditions, yet with sufficient harmonic pungency to provide underpinnings of meaning to Leah Lax’s empathetic, urgent texts in the two extended works.… Conspirare, led by founding Artistic Director Craig Hella Johnson, respond to all of Buller’s emotional gestures with utmost cohesion and flexibility, and the soloists – basses Michael Hawes and Simon Barrad and soprano Emily Yocum Black – are first-rate.” —Donald Rosenberg, @gramophonemagazine “This performance will stay with me for a long time; it is both exquisitely beautiful and inherently melancholic.” —Edward Breen, Gramophone on Haitham Haidar's #Zaytoun Don't miss Ryan de Ryke and Daniel Schlosberg's recording of “Looking to Euridice” from Doug Lofstrom's song cycle, “Myths and Accidents” in @Deezer's top Classical New Release picks playlist!
