This collection is one of the most important piano releases ever, at any time. D'Albert was one of Liszt's most important pupils, a great interpreter of Beethoven, a not insignificant composer and teacher, and quite simply one of the greatest pianists of all time. If you can find it, his old Carl Fisher edition of the Beethoven sonatas is well worth consulting for fingerings and interpretive insight. On this immaculate reissue, one hears the great man toward the end of his career, out of practice, perhaps a bit lazy, but still leonine, resourceful and intelligent. I can't recommend this highly enough. Nowadays we tend to date Beethoven playing (and serious classical interpretation in general) to Schnabel; D'Albert, along with Fischer and Lamond, shows us that Beethoven playing had a significant and credible prehistory before Schnabel. The Schubert playing on this set is also extraordinary. Beautiful tone, sensitive phrasing, stylish pedaling.... The Liszt selections are worth the price of admission all by themselves. Au Bord d'une Source was never played better. I can't thank Arbiter enough for this release.
