Editorial Reviews

Bruce Hungerford was indeed a legend, although mostly among a small group of pianophiles. A pupil of Carl Friedberg and Myra Hess, Hungerford was one of the most intelligent and profound pianists of the LP era. The eight Beethoven piano sonatas included here come from Hungerford's incomplete cycle, interrupted by his sudden death. They are direct, unfancy, personal, and about as effective as any Beethoven you'll hear. The examples of Schubert, Brahms, and Chopin are just as good, and while a live Schubert Wanderer Fantasy seems a little overwrought, a live Beethoven Fourth Piano Concerto (previously unpublished) is magnificently played. --Leslie Gerber
