 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 
"If hearing the Rhapsody in Blue in a solo piano treatment seems a less than ideal way of savoring Gershwin's ubiquitous piece, the colorful orchestral effects having been absorbed into the keyboard part, let me hasten to assure you that I have never heard a more effective or stylish treatment than this one here. . . . Buechner, in a wide field of marvelous performances holds her own nicely [in the three Preludes], avoiding the pitfalls of exaggeration; the playing here, as in the rest of the album, bounces wittily, even with cheeky insouciance in the fast pieces. Not least of the pleasure this album gives comes from the song transcriptions . . . . Technically, Buechner really sizzles; just listen to the energy she imparts to Rhapsody in Blue . . . . Altogether, this is a fine disc in every way . . . ." -- Igor Kipnis, Stereophile
