Bolet's Power Is Always ThereFebruary 15, 2015By Alan B. (Bowie, MD)See All My Reviews"This collection is valuable to me because it conveys not only his power but his sensitivity and gentleness of touch that creates real music. He is a true virtuoso in handling the most thunderous and then the softest of keyboard expressions. I've been looking for a Bolet collection like this for a long time and this is it."Report Abuse
