On offer here a Rare, Still Factory Sealed Exemplar of a Quintessence Stereo Reissue from 1980 on heavy-gauge vinyl featuring the fabulous pianism of the young, incandescent Russian piano virtuoso Lazar Berman in an awesome program of Schumann keyboard masterworks and selected Liszt transcriptions of Schubert's archly Romantic songs. One can now easily forget the astounding impressions Lazar Berman made on western music critics and avid concert goers via his debut recitals in Europe and America in the 1970s. Anyone lucky enough to hear Berman live came away totally bedazzled by this singular virtuoso's astounding, gargantuan technique coupled to a ravishing poetry of subtle dynamic nuance and spectrum-wide tone shading. Berman had a special gift for Schumann and Liszt and his Schubert performances on stage would melt your heart. Even better,this Still Sealed Quintessence Stereo reissue of 1980 presents Berman in early acceleration towards his prime artistry via Stereo master tapes made in Moscow circa 1965--at a time when Berman was still essentially unknown in the West. Berman's insights and suavely controlled mastery of the awesome Schuman G-Minor Sonata constantly amaze. The Quintessence Reissue here gives the very best possible sonics for these early, magnificent Berman recitals. Prime listening throughout. These are Beguiling performances of great poise and rare keyboard intensity.
