Title: UNREMARKABLE REGER
Product review: After listening to Jean Martin's superb initial Naxos CD of assorted and sundry Reger piano music, this compilation was a disappointment. Pawlik's handling of Reger lacks the subtlety and nuance needed, especially in these pieces, which, in and of themselves, are hardly the composer's finest. >>Reger's most inspired piano works, "From My Diary," Op. 82, have yet to see budget release. Jean Martin would be the perfect Naxos advocate (hint, hint).<< The sound on this Pawlik CD, as well, is rather caustic, breaking up constantly at fortes (which are also constant), and without warmth or depth.
