Solomon Cutner is, in my opinion, one of the greatest instrumentalists of the 20th century. His playing was virtuoso without being "virtuoso". His musical conceptions were framed around the larger structures of the piece, while the phrases seemed so individual they served larger structures. Under it all was a brilliant sense of breath, color,timing, and an inate sense of emotional intelligence, which is the root and the core of great artistry.

amazing .. i find solomon and myra hess to be the supreme interpreters of the beethoven appassionata. they both take beethoven's intentions to a level far beyond mere virtuosity or technique..

AH! Finally! There you are Herr Beethoven!

I've only recently discovered Solomon, but his Beethoven is simply the best I've ever heard. I only wish he had recorded them all.

@lovesGenet -And was mine As well.Curzon/Liszt is as good or better than all others IMO. He and Solomon Cutner were easly the best of the English pianists.

Thank you for posting this historical footage of Solomon. His great technique and overall refined pianism never intruded but always served the music.

@Spexter1337 Just before his stroke. What an early and tragic end to his career ...
-
@Spexter1337 Solomon's "Hammerklavier" is simply the best out there.

Do you have Schumann's concerto by Solomon? if so, please upload. I had a vinyl disc in the 1960's, but lost it. I thought then his playing was the best.

Sadly not. This is his only video recording as far as I know, but I've got lots of his audio recordings that I might just upload soon. Among these, a spectacular hammerklavier sonata, op. 110 sonata and a Chopin fantasy.

May I just ask what year this was recorded? Fabulous performance!

An earlier poster has said that it was recorded in 1956, which looks about right!
