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. |

Josef Hofmann was one of the greatest pianists of any age. His unique abilities incorporated a technique second to none, and a clarity and pureness of tone that has probably never been heard since his death. Always in total command of everything he played, Hofmann presented each work with an impression of complete facility of execution. All works recorded in New York City “The recessed, wrong-end-of-a-telescope acoustic recordings are still truthful enough to display Hofmann's mesmerisingly fabulous virtuosity in Liszt's Waldesrauchen and Tarantella, and his full, rounded tone.” BBC Music Magazine, October 2008 ***** “Josef Hofmann is among music’s most jealously guarded legends. For his admirers (and they included Anton Rubinstein and Rachmaninov) he could do no wrong, and those fortunate enough to have heard him live during his heyday in America can reminisce by the hour, recalling unforgettable performances of a vast repertoire ranging from Beethoven’s Op. 111 Sonata to the major works of the great romantics.” Gramophone Magazine | | | (also available to download from $9.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

| |  | Great Pianists - Moiseiwitsch 10Acoustic Recordings Volume 10 (1916 - 1925)
“Vol 10 of Naxos's "Great Pianists" consists of 21 bonnes bouches with which the incomparable Moiseiwitsch enchanted his adoring audiences down the years. And, as a crowning touch, there is Mendelssohn's First Concerto full of oldfashioned touches in the central Andante but with a finale tossed aside with all of his legendary legerdemain and leaving most of his rivals at the starting-post. Elsewhere you can hear a jackdaw's nest of performances where the merest trinket is turned into purest gold.” Gramophone | | | (also available to download from $9.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
