That's thanks mainly to Obert-Thorn's suggestion of such an endeavor to Naxos, the Hong Kong-based label that shook up the classical industry a decade ago with super-budget CDs made possible by low overhead and a huge international distribution system." - David Patrick Stearns Philadelphia Inquirer (Circulation 900,000) March 11, 2001 "These well-seasoned accounts are good value... Put simply, these are straightforwardly good performances in which there is always something worth listening for, and in which the basic standard of performance is high." - Lindsay Kemp Gramophone April 2001 Bach/ Mozart/ Paganini: Kreisler.

Extractions: ARTURO BENEDETTI MICHELANGELI Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli was born at Orzinuovi, a small town near Brescia, Italy, on January 5, 1920. His father, Giuseppe Benedetti Michelangeli, formerly a lawyer, used to play piano, and gave his son Arturo his first music lessons when the child was but three years old. His mother taught him to read and write. His love for his father was as deep as discrete. During a period when he was ill, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, together with other fellow students at the Musical Institute in Brescia, used to travel to a distant restaurant by bicycle where they entertained the clientelle in order to make some money and help Benedetti Michelangeli's father. When his parents found out that, his father scolded him angrily, repeating that those were not things to do, and that Arturo had to think only about studying. He was around 14. In Brescia, at the Musical Institute, he also met his future wife, Giuliana Guidetti. Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli began to receive regular music lessons at the age of four, at the Musical Institute ``Venturi'' in Brescia, with Paolo Chimeri.

Nach dem Krieg dann: Cortot, der König der Falschspieler, peinlicher noch als die "Witwe Beethoven, Elly Ney. Aber vorher ... Diese CD dokumentiert sein immens farbiges, sangliches, empfindungsreiches Klavierspiel in den Spätsommertagen seines Lebens. Die Franck-Variationen haben den episodischen Charme und zugleich die zwingende Entwicklung, die man in den Aufnahmen der französischen Klavierstars von heute vergeblich sucht. Bei Saint-Saëns besticht die rhapsodische Freiheit, mit der Cortot in der Musik geradezu spazieren geht, ohne freilich das Ziel aus den Augen zu verlieren: hier passt das.
