Customer Reviews A treasure impossible to value! Encouraged by Pablo Casals and regarded a perennial honor guest in most of Prades Festivals, her whole spirit ignited again after several years of reclusive state, due a painful sickness. The last decade of this prodigious of the keyboard was really electryfying. However, she knew to imposse herself due her fervent will against all these obstacles, giving the best her weak and fragile body was capable to convey. And the outcome has been possibly one of the most emotive come back ever experienced by any other pianist in that decade. She was constantly requested for many directors, because of the fact that pristine sound, that evocative pianism belonged to a tradition in ways of extinction. Your musical collection will never be complete if you don't have this selected compilation. It's a must-have all the way through. . A truly great Mozartian...and more Hers is the true and authentic reading of a composer whose compositions tend to be either over-simplified, or over-indulged. Clara Haskil's interpretations of Mozart deserves the highest degree of respect from music lovers. W. A. Mozart, as a composer, though apparently simple, is one of the most difficult to present. Haskil's Mozart really blows other seasonsed Mozartians to the dust - I would not name the few contemproaries; such interpretors being rare breeds already. From the one end of the slightly insipid readings of Uchida (though hers is also a great pedigree) to the overtly rocking F. Gulda (another rare specie), Haskil's Mozart is 'just right' in terms of musicality and emotions. She was able to bring forth the full drama, the nuances, the colours, yet never blurring Mozart's clarity and unmistakable idioms, nor did she ever substitute her own ego for Mozart's characteristics. Especially convincing are her piano concertos of Mozart. The same Mozart as in his operas, symphonies, choral pieces, are here found in the medium of the black and white keys in a rare form of expressiveness. Some pieces were recorded twice in live performances over different periods of time. They are invaluable for those interested in gaining more insight into the playing of Clara Haskil. Haskil's strength lies not only in Mozart, though. The rest of this set is dedicated to other works by romantic composers, and really give listeners a good chance to be acquainted with the rare artistry of this wonderful pianist. . Excellent, I love it The serene loneliness in Clara Haskil's interpretation of Mozart and Schubert was simply heartbreaking. For anyone who likes to relive the golden era of pianists, a time when music itself was the core of a performance, this collection is a must have. Honest, elegant, and never self-centered, these memorable recordings deserve 5 solid stars. . .
