William Kapell Edition 9CD boxset plus booklet. Best ever Performer of the 20th century. Inspiring and easy to listen to over and over again! Reviewed in the United States on 3 April 2023.
The greatest ever pianist in my opinion and inspiration to anyone studying piano for performance or for self study. Everything he has recorded is golden an deserves to be studied in earnest. Another genius taken too early from this earth. A treasure chest of brilliance!Reviewed in the United States on 29 September 2010. A flawless creation to behold, the nine-disc packaging of Mr.
Kapell's legendary recordings is a visual extravaganza. Much time and care was invested in the meticulous design of this collection, from the adroitly conceived outer packaging, to the richly rewarding music and performances held within. And as any listener explores the gifts and diversity that truly defines William Kapell as an artist, those rewards continue to spill forth.
Yes, there is much more here than meets the eye; so very much splendor for the ears. The sound quality of these priceless recordings is exceptionally fine, with high compliments going to the engineers who obviously approached this project as a labor of love.
The broad spectrum of composers and works contained on each disc exposes the pianist's impressive range of thoughts, tastes, attitudes and virtuosity. Reviewed in the United States on 17 October 2020.
Thumbs up for Kapell collection. Reviewed in the United States on 20 February 2010.
Very nicely done CD set. The sound quality is better than I expected. The playing confirms suggestions that Kapell was in the same league as Horowitz. If fidelity is your only interest then, like any other remakes, this set is not for you.
But if your interest is in music and performance thereof then you will appreciate this collection. All discs have been checked and are in near mint condition. The jewel cases are in very good condition with some minor marks.
The booklet is in excellent condition. The outer cardboard box shows some minor signs of wear especially on the corners and edges. The photos form part of the description please message me if you need any further information. I have hundreds of new and used classical CDs being listed.
