5.0 out of 5 stars Latimer goes WAY beyond belief - AGAIN !!!, 26 Nov 2004
By peter biermann (Hamburg Germany) - See all my reviews
This CD is without question the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. I have not heard such awe inspiring music making in my life. Latimer realises musical depths that are not written anywhere in the score and it is this that raises this playing to genius level. Some of this is almost too painfully beautiful for words apart from its unprecedented degree of polish and mastery and I know what I'm talking about as I've heard all the other records of these works and in the light of Latimer's performance, they are all totally flawed. This astonishing record, accomplished in a mere two days, will NEVER be equalled in its insights and pianism.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pianistic Wizardry., 11 Oct 2004
The excellent decision by Warner Classics to sign the supernal Mark Latimer and release this 1994 recording of Reger's Bach and Telemann Variations and Fugues, allows for just over seventy minutes of pianistic wizardry to reach a large and fortunate audience.

In a life dedicated to listening, endless passages of this interpretation rate as some of the most beautiful sounds I have ever heard.

The performance is a joyous display of passionate elegance, an exquisite synthesis of artist and material that, as always with Mark Latimer's work, leaves me yearning for more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Latimer reigns supreme!, 4 Feb 2005
I heard, via the Classic Fm radio website, a remarkably candid and refreshingly modest and honest interview with this pianist recently and, in tandem with their bestowing the instrumental CD of the month honour on their magazine on him, I therefore had to buy this post haste from amazon.co.jp. (the most expedient route to RSA). This CD forms the last piece in a very difficult to obtain jigsaw of the complete discography of Mr Latimer. He is, in my opinion, one of the greatest pianists of ANY century and in keyboard command, contrapuntal awareness, polyphonic voicing, pathos, depth, colour, harmonic subtlety and sheer beauty of sound knocks every other recording of either work into a cocked hat. I heard in this interview, to my complete shock, that he had learned these implausibly and transcendentally difficult works in a matter of days and committed them to CD in only two. Hamelin's much later CD gives no precise dates beyond a vague time frame of eighteen months and, where it matters. Latimer is closer both to Reger's underlying meaning, fugal cleanliness, his speeds and metronome markings. And ten years ago to boot when no-one knew of this repertoire.
