|
"Away with moderation: Busoni is the most misunderstood and misrepresented of the twentieth century's great composers, and this massive six-and-a-half-hour set may prove to be the biggest boost to his reputation since Antony Beaumont's completion of the final scene of Doktor Faust and his admirable book on the composer. Madge plays with quite stunning technical control and an evident love of rich and complex piano sonorities that matches Busoni's own (and if he pounds with his left hand rather in some of the earlier music, it is no doubt what the composer would have done himself). He has all the necessary stamina that the bigger pieces demand, but is no less sensitive to more mysterious and poetic pages. The performances were recorded live (though there is not the slightest sign of an audience or of a large concert-hall acoustic), so there are a few minor fluffs of no real consequence.... the set is a major achievement and an eloquently compelling act of advocacy." -- Michael Oliver, Gramophone
