Movie Reviews of Prokofiev: Piano Concerto No.3 In C Major; Rachmaninov: Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini
Movie Review: Classic Pianism
Summary: 4 Stars
A previous reviewer, either on this site or another one (I can't simultaneously access other reviews and write this one)correctly pointed to the bonus tracks on this DVD being the real treasures. I concur enthusiastically. While Byron Janis's dynamic approach to these warhorses is well represented, though not especially well-preserved or edited (why does the camera peer, voyeur-like, at some inactive wind players picking their noses and rearranging their private while Janis is busting his knuckles on some double octaves, for example?), the bonus of Julius Katchen, who died too young, playing his specialty, Brahms, is most welcome. I know of no other DVD performances of Katchen. It would be worth the time and effort to search some archives for lost videos of him and ignore such contemporary wannbees like Lang Lang. Interestingly enough, though the Katchen performances were recorded earlier (the Brahms 2nd Sonata and a pair of Hungarian Dances)their visual and tonal quality are much superior to the Janis recordings of a few years later.
