this latest remastering adds a modicum of fullness and body masked in previous editions. In general, Katin is technically secure and stylistically idiomatic, although some of the more demanding selections find the pianist erring on the side of caution...In all, the best of Katin's work has much to offer
29th July 2014
He projects the music strongly and with great dynamism...this Katin set has a great deal to offer and is well worth consideration. This reissue is a welcome tribute to a highly distinguished pianist.
18th September 2011
His playing is magisterial: one couldn’t ask for more insight, intensity, virtuosity in this prodigious repertoire. No other piano preludes have quite Rachmaninov’s way of combining giganticism and intimacy, of driving immensity into a nutshell...Katin fixes them superbly in the here and now.
