Notes'The performances will leave you dazzled. This is, quite simply, Liszt playing of the highest caliber.' ~ Peter J. Rabinowitz, Fanfare 'This disc is tremendous fun to listen to. Jerome Lowenthal, a pupil of Samaroff, Kapell, Steuermann, and Cortot, here plays a full recital of opera paraphrases, six by Liszt and one by Busoni, and it's obvious that he's having as much of a ball playing them as we are listening to them. Moreover, his studies with Cortot definitely show in the way he "sings" this operatic music at the keyboard. The music not only sings, but dances-if you can, for a moment, imagine dancing to excerpts from Der fliegende Holländer! I recommend it highly and without hesitation. There are too few discs of this sort that bring unalloyed joy to the listener!' ~ Lynn René Bayley, Fanfare 'Although I had heard others rave about Lowenthal's 1981 album in the past, this CD was my first chance to actually hear it. And although I was frankly skeptical that the recording could live up to it's advance billing, I am happy to report that it did. Put simply, this is regal piano playing of the finest order, which radiates with seasoned confidence, gusto, and the kind of mastery that goes well beyond complete command of the instrument. I can't think of a better way to celebrate a great artist's 80th birthday than to share his timeless artistry with the world. Enthusiastically recommended.' ~ Radu A. Lelutiu, Fanfare.
