Emil Gilels (piano)About
“He was in many ways an ideal Beethoven pianist. As it is, we simply have some of the best Beethoven recordings of recent times” – David Patrick Stearns (Ovation)
“…there is indeed something miraculous about a touch so precise, so rapid, and yet so distinctive; a sensibility which can shape, colour and chord the music with so much fine precision. In a word, Gilels’s astounding technique has been used with an alchemist’s skill, transmuted and purified to the ends of the greatest art. Always, Gilels’s virtuosity leads one back to the music.” – Richard Osborne, Gramophone, 1979
Reviews
Throughout, [Gilels] manages to make one believe that his is exactly the tempo giusto [...] Among the named sonatas the Appassionata has been hailed by us as being among the finest ever made, and much the same must be said of the Waldstein; it has a technical perfection denied even to Schnabel, and though in the slow movement the latter found special depths, Gilels is hardly less searching and profound. [...] Gilels's Hammerklavier is a performance of supreme integrity: Olympian, titanic, subtle, imperious, one of the finest accounts ever recorded. [...] No. 31 in A flat is also given a performance of real stature. Even when Gilels storms the greatest heights in the closing fugue, no fortissimo ever sounds percussive or strained. Such is his magic that doubts are silenced. Altogether this set is a unique achievement [...]
