Romantic Piano Favourites, Vol. 4 $8.99 I'm afraid I have always found this CD to be rather soporific, although that is a purely subjective reaction. The main reason for this, I assume, is the programme, which is not specifically romantic and combines such diverse composers as Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Chopin and Mendelssohn with a somewhat sentimental arrangement of 'Greensleeves' and some excruciatingly twee pieces by second and third rate piano bards with exotic names like Badarzewska-Baranowska, Chaminade and Lange. Hungarian pianist Pter Nagy masters all the works in this compilation in the sense that he plays them efficiently, but nowhere does one get the feeling that a piece really has a message or any kind of emotional depth. Moreover, Nagy occasional overdoes the force of his left hand, making for rather one-dimensional listening, all the pieces sounding in the end like Pter Nagy rather than like the composers who dreamed them up. In particular, I found the Rachmaninov 'Vocalise', the longest piece on the CD, did nothing for me at all. The quality of the recording is of a fair standard for 1987. Note added on 26 November 2005: I have just had the opportunity of listening to this disc on some first-class "high end" equipment and I must admit that, like many other Naxos discs, this one sounded a whole lot better at this level of reproduction, with Pter Nagy's playing profiting no end from the clarity and clean-cut purity of sound produced from the piano (in this case by a 24bit D/A converter). The improved sound made the music much more interesting, decidedly less soporific than it had ever seemed before. So am I to praise Nagy and Naxos - or the manufacturers of excellent hifi equipment?  Violin Adagios $17.98 An excellent compilation of folk tunes and violin concerto adagios, played masterfully by some of the world's most revered musicians.
