- a powerful recording from the master's handsDDS was a masterful pianist, and while he was beginning to lose the full power of his right hand, you wouldn't notice it here (maybe in the Fantastic Dances). His playing is straightforward, not too quick or slow, loud or soft, but utterly hypnotic and thrilling at the same time. If you listen to this recording enough it will become the standard by which you judge other Shostakovich players.
The concerti both demand unbelievably close coordination between soloist and conductor--which ... Read More

- One of the GreatsDmitri (not Dmitry as shown in the listing) Shostakovich was one of the 20th century's greatest composers. In his early years, he was also a phenomenal pianist. Here we have the opportunity of hearing some of his finest efforts in both realms. I gave the disc four stars only because Shostakovich was past his prime as a pianist when the recording was made (he was suffering from a painful malady to his right hand), and the fact that this is a mono recording (but a fine one at that). Nevertheless, ... Read More

- Shostakovich plays Shostakovich - SUPERB!!!It's always a joy to hear a composer's own interpretation of his music. In the case of the great Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, getting to hear him play his own piano concertos as well as several Preludes and Fugues is nothing short of breathtaking.
While the recordings on this disc (dating from 1958) are in Mono, they sound fantastic and the remastering is stunning. In fact, it is such a clear recording, you would almost think it was stereo.
Shostakovich's piano playing is jaw-dropping ... Read More

- Shostakovich and the Mighty FugueMuch can be said about the concertos and dances, however I will only review the preludes/fugues. Having heard the complete preludes and fugues as played by Scherbakov I can hear a tremendous difference between the great composer's playing and a great virtuoso. The level of intensity and pathos in the Eminor and Dminor fugues is breathtaking. It is played well by the virtuoso, but when performed by the writer, whose playing is not at all perfect, the pieces are at another level. I compose pieces at the ... Read More

- The composer himself recorded beautifully....This CD is truly amazing. Can you imagine if Beethoven himself was recorded in a similar fashion? The second movement from the piano concerto is sublime. What is the mood of the piece? It's hard to tell. It's as enigmatic as the man himself. All I know is that I'm glad this very talented man was alive when our recording technology was more than adequate to capture all the feeling in his works. 5 stars.
