Appreaciate the underappreciated November 7, 2008
Christopher R. Kosloske
Nelson Friere is known for his low number of concert appearances and therefore is not as known as some of the other great pianists. Despite this he is indeed one of the great pianists of the 20th century and this CD proves just that. The Chopin Scherzo in B Minor, and the Liszt Totentanz rank among my favorite interpretations of all time.

If you play piano, or if you like concerts of piano, buy it! It's really fantastic. The liszt's totentanz it's simply uncredible. He played another "metamorphosis" of a valse by Johann Strauss. I've never seen nothing similar, it's really "animal". Another point is that I know Mr. Freire and, I don't know why, he doesn't like recording. The few freire's recordings is saved in concert. So, this is unique, fabulous recording. I repeat: just buy it!
A Pianist's Pianist June 6, 2000

Nelson Freire's inclusion in this collection has brought him back to the recording studio and two new recordings, one with the Liszt concertos, another a live concert, have come out since. Sony has rereleased some budget CDs with him which, unfortunately, are badly recorded; avoid them. If you want to try his artistry, get instead this wonderful collection, plus the Phillips Duo disc which has Martha Argerich pairing up with friends on a number of works. Freire is famous for dreamy romantic works, but you'll love the subtlely and power of his Brahms 3d piano sonata as much as his Liszt or his Schumann. Among the releases of the "Great Pianists" collection, this one is a true gift which restores to the public an elusive but distinguished artist.
The Best Schumann recording May 26, 2000

You've never heard Schumann's "Fantasia op. 17" played like that. Só sua enorme timidez explica porque Nelson Freire não é uma celebridade mundial. Martha Argerich ha saputo scegliere il suo partner musicale. Er ist unglaublich ! Il faut lui connaître.

Nelson Freire, un pianista brillante con gran musicalidad, es curioso que un pianista de tan alto nivel no sea más famoso. La interpretación de la Sonata Op. 5 de Brahms, es de lo mejor que he escuchado en mi vida.Fuertemente recomendado.
