Really enjoyed his piano playing. So much fun to listen to, so much joy coming from him. One of the very best and most original of all time.

From a Pianist to a Pianist:
This CD is incredible. Volodos, as "Marc-Andre Hamelin" is one of the greatest living pianists. After Horowitz (the Incarnation of the piano itself) , I'm glad to hear such marvellous interpretations and the variety of the pieces, control of technik, luminous touch, and deepness. Very Passionate.
Congratulations Volodos, try to make your own Encores also, like Horowiz made it.
This CD is a Must Have!

This album turned me on to Solal, who since became my favourite pianist. This is piano improv at its most creative best. This guy is like Sonny Rollins of piano. Just check out his take on 'Round Midnight. Always fresh. If you like your jazz played by technical virtuosos with ingenius imaginations, you'll love this album. It's true, this ain't no George Duke.

I discovered Wayne Gratz by a chance thrift-store purchase of Spring Rain. Since then I have purchased four additional CDs by this tremendous piano player. His are my go-to tracks while editing or just chilling. If you enjoy the piano music of Jim Brickman or George Winston, you will love Wayne Gratz.

Of course pianists should have this wonderful book, just don't assume it's complete.  Faur&eacute; actually wrote a thirteenth Nocturne (in B minor) and a thirteenth Barcarolle (in C major), neither of which is included here.  Both of these are characteristic late Faur&eacute;, but the Nocturne #13 is particularly not to be missed.  I was just playing it over tonight and was amazed by the dark drama of the music.  It's as Faur&eacute;'s biographer Jessica Duchen said, that it seems to stare death in the face.
Both the Nocturne #13 and the suave, tranquil Barcarolle #13 are available individually from Masters Music Publications, and I would suggest that pianists supplement this book with both of those works to make a complete set of Faur&eacute;'s nocturnes and barcarolles.

I discovered Rob's music after hearing the song "I Do" on "The Daily Source Code" podcast. I quickly went out and bought "Sophomore Jinx". After listening to the whole album I got back on the web and bought "Woods of Chaos" as well. Rob's work has a very unique style to it. I highly recommend that you check out [...] and listen to the streams that are on his site. If you like solo piano tracks, Rob Costlow is one of the most talented pianists that I have heard in a long time. A definite five out of five very big stars!

As a pianist I stand in awe of Charles Rosen's phenomenal analysis and exposure of the life, status, mind, intellect and passion of one of our most celebrated pianists.  If there were ever any doubt about why one plays the piano, here is the answer.  This is another MUST HAVE for any honest and serious pianist, either amateur or professional.

I have become a new born fan of Evans. His piano is just breath-taking, the arrangements befuddling and his muse so inspiring.
You'll need good theory skills, but it doesn't matter, get this book!

Kissin plays my favorite Chopin Ballade No. 2.  I think it's the best I've ever heard.  The Berceuse is wonderful also.  Kissin ranks with best of the Chopin pianists alive today.  Don't hesitate to get this one.

This movie is for piano lovers anywhere.  I could watch it over and over.  Any time Seymour Bernstein plays, I want to listen.  This movie helps me understand what goes into not just good playing, but excellent artistic playing.

Pandolfi is a real master. This is a really good collection of songs and played in the grand tradition of a master pianists. I recommend this and any of Emile Pandolfi's works to you. They are worth the purchase and more than worth the listen!

love the pianist with the orchestra support. William josephs interpretation putting the music altogether is expertly combined. Anything new that he produces i will get.

This book (along with the first volume) is really wonderful. Once a pianist gets to that stage where they are looking for more advanced music to play, they should DEFINITELY try out Liszt. This man was really a brilliant composer, as well as a musical genius. I would recommend his music to anyone ready to play more difficult music. WONDERFUL PRODUCT.

This CD is the sum of all winners: The program, the sound engineering, the presentation, and more importantly, of course, the extraordinary performance of this unique pianist. The most incredible thing about it -and might I add rare quality-is that the more I listen to it the more I discover riches and hidden surprises of boundless inspiration in it. Apart from possessing an electrifying pianism, this pianist can really move you and submerge you in a magical world from which you won't return unchanged. I strongly recommend listening to it many times.

Jeremy Denk is masterful on piano.  His strength and experience matches his talent.
After seeing him play in person not too long ago, I sent for this CD and was not disappointed!  Although I am
also a fan of many other types of music, Denk draws me back into classical. He isn't just playing the old masters, but reinventing them with respect and originality.  The piano becomes a partner.  I am the listener and this trio is a joyful
connecting!  I would highly recommend Ligeti/Beethoven, as played by Jeremy Denk.
