Description
The Great Pianists brings to life the brilliant and eccentric personalities, methods, and technical peculiarities of history's greatest pianists. Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Harold C. Schonberg presents vivid accounts of their performances, styles, and personal lives.
From the fabulous legato of Mozart to the volcanic playing style of Rubinstein, this comprehensive look at legendary performers past and present includes profiles of Horowitz and Van Cliburn, as well as chapters detailing the careers of modern pianists such as de Larrocha, Ashkenazy, Gilels, Gould, Brendel, Bolet, Gutierrez, and Watts.
