This is one of the most remarkable classical CD collections ever released, and is an absolute must-have for piano afficionados.Many CD boxed sets claim to be historically important; this one most assuredly is.Kapell wasAmerica's first great pianist, and remains at the pinnacle, almost 50 yearsafter his tragic death at age 31.As a previous reviewer noted, there istoo much material on these CDs to comment on in-depth, but I'll just saythat most of the recordings here are definitive, which is quite remarkable,considering that many of these works have been recorded by scores ofpianists, including greats such as Horowitz, Rubinstein, and others. Precious in this collection are Kapell's recordings of Bach and Schubertmade in his last year.These show him as a pianist who, while capable ofdazzling a stadium-sized crowd with stunning, instrument-damagingpyrotechnics, could also play with a crystalline and intimate purity,heart-to-heart, as if there were only one listener in the room.Highly,highly recommended.Click Here to see more reviews about: William Kapell Edition
