 | Van Cliburn: My Favorite Liszt
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $4.99 Mr. Cliburn's Liszt is enchanting - extremely passionate and still wonderfully lyrical at the same time. The sonata is incredible - I wish I could play my fortissmos like Mr. Cliburn does!

 | Chopin: Concerto No.1/Rachmaninov: Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini

 | My Favorite Brahms
Buy new: $8.98 / Used from: $4.88 Mr. Cliburn's interpretation of Brahms is not the best I've heard, but it still has his special touch - the Rhapsodies on this disc are especially lyrical - and still have a gruff Brahmsian tone.
|
 | Van Cliburn - My Favorite Debussy
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $4.47 This is Debussy - and I love it. Some of these are extremely difficult pieces and Mr. Cliburn shines in them. In "Reflections in the Water" you can just see trees reflected in a rippling pond...
