Rating:  - Composers not credited in mp3 version
The recording is wonderful despite the noise, and the performance is masterful. But while the mp3 files contain information for each track (album, performer, title, opus, movement), there is no mention of the composers. Most of the pieces are popular enough it's obvious. But really, this is basic and should be a part of each file.
Rating:  - More Gems From Kapell
Although this CD is derived from over the air Australian radio in a bygone era, it is important for anyone who wants as much Kapell material as possible. The Rach 3 alone is worth the admission fee. If you love Kapell you will want this CD for the music, and you will ignore the sometimes scratchy surface noise. I am overjoyed that this material was discovered and published. Get it if you want to hear what piano interpretation can be from a young, brilliant, American virtuoso.

It is extremely moving to hear these recordings of Kapell which we didn't know existed. He was such a major talent who died so young.
Rating: - Amazing

There is sensitivity and passion which reaches through the years and the technical limits of these recordings to touch us. But what really amazes me is that even with the extraneous noises, I can still hear incredible clarity and precision in his playing.
One of the important skills of a pianist is to make the melody sing beautifully above the other notes, which frequently come ... Read More
