Blood, Sweat & Tears: Blood, Sweat & Tears        (11 of 11 found this review helpful)
  December 11, 2005

I was curious about how this recording would sound, but was reluctant to buy it since I already owned a copy of the previous Sony SACD. That release was superior sounding to the much earlier MFSL CD released a decade or more ago in several ways. I thought to myself that it would be impossible to ... more

Perhaps unlike others, though, I most appreciate the lyrics of the great introspective tunes, such ... more
Grieg, Schumann: Piano Concertos - Lupu/Previn        (4 of 4 found this review helpful)
  July 5, 2005

I would certainly concur with Daland's assessment of Lupu's performances on these recordings — especially the Grieg which, IMHO, has few peers in the catalogue. Lupu is a bit heavy handed with the Grieg, and that suits me just fine. After becoming accustomed to his emphatic, almost overtly ... more
