Free Music Notes for Kapell Rediscovered AlbumFree Music Review: Amazing
Hit: 4 Stars
The first thing that's amazing about these recordings is that they exist at all. As for the music... wow... There is sensitivity and passion which reaches through the years and the technical limits of these recordings to touch us. But what really amazes me is that even with the extraneous noises, I can still hear incredible clarity and precision in his playing.
One of the important skills of a pianist is to make the melody sing beautifully above the other notes, which frequently come across as a wave, blur or rumble of notes, especially in 19th Century music. In Kapell's playing on these recordings, not only do the melodies sing, but every single note plays a precise role with clarity, even in the Chopin Scherzo. It has given me a better musical understanding of these pieces than ever before.
I've rated this only 4 stars because it is not something I listen to over and over just for pleasure, because of the noise. But it is certainly something all music buffs and especially piano students would do well to listen carefully to.
