Love this album
This is one of the most beautiful and personal recordings I have ever heard. There's really nothing more to say. I just wish it were a double album.

Divine Pianism
After more than 35 years of suffering from dystonia, 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...

Artistry and Strenght
I look for this CD after having heard in a Lisbon radio, a couple of weeks ago, Mr. Fleisher playing Bach's Sheep May Safely Graze. I was so moved by his interpretation, by the beauty and simplicity of that piece that I immediately start looking...

Classical piano doesn't get any better than this
This is a beautifully produced album by a master of the piano. Listening to the piano transcription of Sheep May Safely Graze is worth the price of admission alone. The Schubert D flat major sonata is moving and powerful. The Chopin delightful and...

F leisher's triumphant return.
It is thrilling and soul-satisfying to hear Leon Fleisher's superb and sensitive playing of Bach, Scarlatti, Chopin, Debussy and Schubert after dystonia had prevented two-handed performances for more than 35 years.

Superb... a real blockbuster!
This is a great album in every respect. The choice of music is excellent and execution is suberb. As one reviewer points out below, the interpretations are reminiscent of Rubenstein. However, these are digital recordings and with respect to...

Without Equal
I am currently learning to play Chopin's Nocturne 27.2 so I decided to buy this CD. I have many different recordings of Chopin's nocturnes--Maria Pires, Maria Tipo, Ivan Moravic, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Arthur Rubenstein, and now Leon Fleisher.

Relaxed assuredness
Fleisher came to my school a few years ago playing his Carnegie Hall program which is mainly featured on this disc. A friend of mine I think put it best, "He didn't play the piano he worked with it. The fingers moved, the hammers hit the strings...

"Nobody can be ever compared to this giant..."
I was recently discussing the quality of this Fleisher's recording with my friend Leontsky, himself composer and pianist. We were both enthusiastic.I cannot resist reporting what Leontsky told me about that album : " The fact is nobody can be...
