Notes and Editorial Reviews
Dazzling Milne conquers the twin peaks of Busoni’s powerful output
This is one of those addictive discs, best listened to when you know you haven’t anything else vying for attention (because you won’t get around to it). I listened to this three times before taking it out of the player. “A mighty mountain range glimpsed behind clouds” is how reviewer Bryce Morrison describes Busoni’s terrifying Fantasia. So Milne eagerly scales these peaks, taking time to observe vistas of surpassing loveliness.
