Negative Positive
Title: Warm, Sympathetic and Intelligent
Review: Just finished listening to this fine collection of performances by one of my favorite Russian pianists, Lev Oborin. His touch with the Brahms pieces in particular is quite delicate and sensitive (up to now, the Gould and Bishop-Kovacevich performances had pride of place).I found his Scriabin to also reveal a sensitivity to this composer that I had only experienced before at the hands of Horowitz.All in all, one of my favorites records in the indispensible set of 20 CD's which comprise the "Russian Piano School" - I was able to acquire Volumes 1-10 in a box-set years ago and then collected Volumes 11-20 individually.Absolutely worth it to seek these performances out...
