Excellent Performance With Rather Poor Sound
The reading of these pieces are quite different from Backhaus or Kempff. If you want to have a change from these German pianists (or even from the Russians), this might be the one for you. Casadesus in these pieces will for sure give you boundless inspirations and insights.

But personally, and as a fan of both Casadesus & Horszowski, and oddly enough, I would prefer the former's Mozart & the latter's Beethoven at times. However, also note that the inlay gives no information on recorded time/place and the sleeve says "mono" and the recorded sound simply leaves much too be desired, much worse than what we get from Kempff's 50's Beethoven cycle or even Horszowski's Mozart cycle.

Beautiful
This is the first (and only) "classical" CD I've ever bought, and it hasn't let me down yet. I bought this CD primarily because of "Moonlight Sonata", but listening to the rest of the CD, I found that the different pieces really flow well throughout the CD.
