About

An attractive 4 CD collection of Fazil Say’s finest Teldec recordings, including Say’s own arrangements of songs from Gershwin’s “Porgy & Bess

Love him or hate him, audiences tend to have strong feelings about pianist Fazil Say. His jazz and boogie interpretations of classical works and his flamboyant performance style – in which he reaches inside the piano to pluck the strings or hums along with himself à la Glenn Gould – are cited as manifestations of genius or impudence, depending on whom you ask.” (New York Magazine, 19 April 1999)

As far as my recordings are concerned, I’d say that the Mozart, Bach and Gershwin discs were aperitifs designed to appeal to different tastes; I hope that The Rite of Spring proves to be the main dish.” (Fazil Say)
