Editorial Reviews

Emerging from a long obscurity, Sergio Fiorentino gave a concert tour of Germany. These discs come from decent amateur recordings along that tour. The Chopin Second Sonata, full of poetry and passion, is one of the greatest performances of that work I've ever heard, and so is the Schumann Fantasy. In both works, coming from unedited concerts, the pianist's technique is amazingly strong. He also shows a wide range of musical comprehension throughout this varied program. Even on the basis of this set alone, Fiorentino is revealed as one of the greatest pianists of our time. --Leslie Gerber
