5 out of 5 stars Excellent Performace   November 5, 2005
Yi HW (a cosmopolitan bound by the ROK nationality)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This album is a real find! The performer has almost everything needed to express this virtuosic yet impressionistic work; A brilliant technique, tonal clarity, sense of structure, and nuance. There is no unnecessary use of rubato.
Along with Ms. Luiza Borac and Jenny Lin, another promising young pianists, Ms. Budiardjo is the one we have to be concerned.



4 out of 5 stars A very welcome CD   October 20, 2001
5 out of 6 found this review helpful

This CD contains the complete Jave Suite. A nice rendition, and a very welcome CD to funs of Godowsky. I hope it will encourage other music lovers to discover Godowsky's piano music, beyond his celebrated studies on the Chopin Etudes.
