Spectacular Performances/Miraculous Sound

5 Stars
Posted Saturday, December 18, 2010 by Jack Truslow This has long been my favorite performance of the sonata since its first appearance on a Philips LP. But I was just astonished by this SACD incarnation. Arrau might well have been sitting at the piano 15 feet in front of me. I can now hear subtleties and details that I never heard on the vinyl record. If you like Arrau's Liszt, buy this!

Posted Friday, June 22, 2007 by Rich L. What clarity on the vocals and horns! The Hallelujah Chorus on the 2nd disc is pure joy. Album as a whole is a tour-de-force, both in performance and recording excellence. Would make a great demo disc for SACD, it's that good.

Unique interpretations of old chestnuts

5 Stars
Posted Friday, October 21, 2005 by Allan Krepina While there's no quibbling about the recorded sound: rich, resonant, life-like, Mutter's interpretations are uniquely hers. Liberal use of portamento, extreme pianissimi, etc. But she can make it SO convincing--not least because she's got the technique to carry it off flawlessly. Levine and the VPO are with her every step of the way. Remarkable.
