5.0 out of 5 stars Divine Pianism, 17 Mar 2008
By Scriabinmahler (Cambridge UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Am I the first person to review this CD? That means not many people in UK know this remarkable painist. When he made outstanding recording after recording with Szell in the 60s, it was a sensation. The incandescent performances of Schumann/Grieg concertos, Rachmaninov's Paganini Rhapsody, and the sublime performances of Beethoven & Brahms Concertos still remain unsurpassed today. Here, after more than 35 years of suffering from dystonia, neurological movement disorder, which deprived him of use of right hand, his two-hand pianism emerges like a miracle. I can not detect even a hint of disability in his right hand. Like S.Richter in his later years, Fleisher's playing has a kind of rarified beauty and reverence for music.

Bach's Cantata arrangements, Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (Myra Hess) and Sheep may safely graze (Egon Petri), are played most beautifully with blissful simplicity. Scarlatti sonata is an expression of pure joy of making music. Chopin noctune and Debussy's Clair de lune are absolutely magical, second only to the miraculously atmospheric performance of Clair de lune by Richter.

Highlight of this cd is the awe-inspiring performance of Schubert's D960 Sonata. This is a superlative performance that can match the great recordings by Rubinstein and Richter in depth, delicacy and richness of playing. Fleisher defies the centuries-old nonsense that left-hand part must support right hand, by letting left hand part express itself as much as right hand part. The effect is a revelation. The piano produces lavishingly rich sounds like an orchestra. This performance is a moving testimony that adversity can be tunred into advantage, by an artist who, through much suffering, has learned the essence of what music is and what life is.

Commentary includes pianist's own very personal and touching episodes and insights on each piece, and on his mentor Schnabel's influence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Touchstone for Art of Piano Playing, 18 Nov 2008
I forgot which pianist but remember him saying Feisher's interpretation of Sheep May Safely Graze was a revelation or something in that line, in a BBC Radio 3 programm called Piano. On other occasions I heard other pianists mentioning his name as a living pianist to admire most. It is interesting to note that it was not the young Fleisher who was a phenomenal and dazzling virtuoso pianist, but the tormented, mature artist Leon Fleisher who's made such a lasting impact on many professional pianists. The recital on this disc fully justifies their admiration.
