Milne's capabilities as a colorist and tonal magician particularly hit home in slower, more lyrical pieces. His gorgeous, melting legato touch and ravishingly contoured inner voices in the Bach/Siloti B minor Prelude and in the same transcriber's treatment of the F minor Violin and Keyboard Sonata's Adagio are worth this disc's price. Indeed, Milne's piano playing is so wonderful that you nearly forget that these transcriptions are hopelessly outmoded by today's purist zeitgeist. And the pianist's intelligent, frank, and informative booklet notes deserve their own 10/10 review. [7/16/2005]
