Title: Great CD, but with an error in the track listing
Review: I agree that Kissin's performance of Rachmaninoff's Lilacs is a knockout, as is his rendering of the two Etudes Tableaux that follow. However, I would say his treatment of Scriabin's formidable C# minor etude falls short of the lyrical Romanticism and masterful voicing of my Horowitz recording of this piece, though Kissin rises to the technical challenges admirably. It's an impressive live performance by a young artist, but to call it the best recording of this etude to date is a stretch.It should be pointed out that the track listing shown above and on the CD cover seems to be incorrect in that track number 9 on the CD is not in fact "Un Sospiro" as listed but is rather Liszt's "Waldesrauschen."
Is the review positive or negative?
