Title: Warning: defective gem!
Review: All of the above is true: this CD has a beautiful piano sound and provides informative notes. The execution is also flawless, with its pianist, Evgeny Soifertis, making each little gem into a diamond. However, I must also warn any possible buyer that my CD came out defective; every other track had horrible scratching sounds the source of which could only be found in the recording process. It hurts me to have to say this of Meridian, a recording label that has traditionally specialized in recording relatively unknown works and/or artists at the beginning of their careers... but, I find it very unsettling that a label could put out a product like this. Any superficial inspection, no matter how quick, should have caught this blaring defect and prevented the item from reaching the public. I will not take a risk buying a replacement copy from the same label - Times are hard.
