| | Emil Gilels |
 | | Gilels was born October 19 into a musical family. | | | Gilels' playing is athletic, lyrical, and exciting--a different conception than his later, weightier Columbia recording with Mehta and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. | | | I was lucky enough to listen to a reel-to-reel broadcast tape of Gilels' Chicago Symphony Orchestra debut (in Northwestern University's music archives), playing the Tchaikovsky 1st under Reiner. |

| | INKPOT#85 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: Great Pianists of the 20th Century Vol.35 - Emil Gilels II (Philips) |
| | Gilels made a fine recording of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto with Fritz Reiner which you would have expected to be first on the list of concerto recordings for this project, but the Second Concerto chosen here is just as good. | | | Gilels always retained a natural and seemingly instinctive grasp of structure, even in music where structure does not seem to have any relevance. | | | The concert appearances were often accompanied by recording sessions, initially with the top American orchestras, then solo piano repertory in the 1970s with DG, and from 1957 until his final concerts in Britain, a long running partnership with the BBC, both 'live' and in the studio. |

| | InternetEd Reviews: Edvard Grieg: Lyric Pieces / Emil Gilels |
| | Pianist Emil Gilels is just that performer on this record. | | | Composer Edvard Grieg's lyric pieces are very developed and multidimensional in their own right, but as with all classical music, they need a perfect performer who understands both the technical and emotional aspects of the music in order for the piece to be truly effective. | | | Gilels' first piece is the slow and fanciful "Arietta Op.12, No.1: Poco Andante E Sostenuto," a light, yet introspective composition. |

| | Emil Gilels' personal selection of favorite lyric pieces is one of his most praised and best recordings. | | | Gilels' playing is one of the wonders of the world; I'll always wish he'd recorded more repertory than he did. | | | Gilels brings richness to Grieg's short, but texturally satisfying lyric pieces that will not disappoint accomplished musicians or lovers of romantic piano music. |

| | From the transcendent Mozart to the earthly 20th century Medtner, Gilels is always in total control of how he presents the music. | | | This wonderful five-disc set presents Emil Gilels in previously unpublished stereo recordings from live performances. | | | Gilels very clearly differentiates the clarity of Mozart's classicism with the distinctly "Russian" music of Prokofiev. |

| | Emil Gilels recorded extensively, his discs appearing, disappearing and reappearing in the catalogue like so many Cheshire cats. | | | Recently the BBC issued a 1959 broadcast of Schumann’s First Sonata, music indelibly associated with Gilels. | | | Saint-Saëns’ Second and Rachmaninov’s Third Concertos (reissued on Testament) were among the recordings that first drew the West’s attention to Gilels, along with a Revelation disc of a live performance of Brahms’s Op 116, which easily eclipses a more sober-suited studio recording for Deutsche Grammophon (DG). |

| | Rather nervous-making, I'd guess.) Yes, Gilels is a wonderful pianist; you'd have to be deaf not to believe that; and I strongly recommend the Brahms and the Grieg, but the guy does miss notes, especially in live concert recordings, and it's most disconcerting. | | | However, this is playing to inspire awe and Gilels is part mad chemist and part thoroughbred, striding through performance with strength, speed and grace. | | | After subsequent listenings, however, I realized that Gilels' rendition of all of these works are simply acts of interpretive genius. |

| | The sound, by the way, varies according to age and location; the audiences are generally quiet — a few coughs aside — but sometimes the raw recordings impart an edge and an aggression that would have been better cushioned in a more sympathetic acoustic. | | | These are just the thoughts that come to mind listening to his Beethoven. | | | I don’t think one would put the Masur cycle on the same pedestal as one places his individual recordings elsewhere but they are powerfully impressive nevertheless. |

| | The highlight of the set, new to CD, is a 1954 Chicago mono recording (a great one, you won't miss stereo here) of Mozart's "Linz" Symphony, a version that could have been made yesterday--lean, lithe execution, crackling tempos, and a brilliantly played whirlwind finale. | | | It's preceded by the conductor's 1958 partnership with Emil Gilels in Brahms' Second Piano Concerto, a strong contrast to Gilels' more relaxed, better-known DG remake with Eugen Jochum. | | | Here, he's right in Reiner's groove with brisk tempos and a rhythmic snap that's softened in his later version. |
