Jorge Bolet was an avowed Romantic, happy to relax once the serious business of his recital is over. Like Moiseiwitsch, he could be mischievously enterprising, challenging his audience to guess the composer of this or that rare poetic jewel or confection - or, like Rubinstein, he could affectionately confirm and recreate their favourites. With delightful old world charm, fleet of finger, yet ever conscious of the singing line, Bolet weaves pure magic in this collection of encores. After a long absence from the catalogue, this disc returns, now at budget price. “...the unfailing wizardry of Bolet. He is also splendidly recorded. It is difficult to see how an encore-fancier could greet this record with anything but the most delighted of, well encores.” Gramophone Magazine | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

‘A musical as well as a technical revelation … De Waal’s virtuosity is awe-inspiring, and he’s complemented
throughout by a beautifully natural and wide-ranging recording’ (Gramophone) “This disc is amazing, even hilarious, but should probably be taken in two or three separate doses. Godowsky's inventiveness reaches its apogee in the vast Passacaglia on the opening of Schubert's Unfinished, but it's all wild stuff, to which Rian de Waal does ample justice.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2006 ***** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
