Editorial Reviews

Best known as a composer, Alfredo Casella was also a pianist. His bracing rhythm and easy keyboard prowess is evident throughout this collection, which houses all his extant recordings as a pianist, adequately dubbed from rare 78 pressings, broadcast airchecks, and piano rolls. Casella 's vigorous, headlong Beethoven Ghost and Brahms C Major trio performances command equal attention with the 20th-century repertoire (Bloch's magnificent piano quintet and the Roy Harris Piano Trio) he favored, including his own work. --Jed Distler
