从莫扎特“如水银泻地般流淌”的美妙连奏到贝多芬如巨浪翻涌的磅礴气势，从克拉拉·舒曼“如铅笔素描般锐利”的触键到鲁宾斯坦如火山喷发般充满感官张力的演奏，The Great Pianists 生动再现了历史上最杰出钢琴家们的耀眼才华、独特风范，乃至他们有时古怪的个性、手法与技术特征。普利策奖得主、评论家兼作家 Harold C. Schonberg 生动描绘了这些艺术家的演出、风格，甚至私人生活与奇异性格——例如莫扎特与克莱门蒂之间的激烈竞争，李斯特的非凡魅力

……储备了大量醒目的词汇、隐喻、成语和陈词滥调——通常按主题组织——供他们在写作时随时调用。这让我想起了《纽约时报》前乐评人 Harold Schonberg 在《Lives of the Great Pianists》中谈到贝多芬出色的即兴演奏能力时写下的一段绝妙文字：“贝多芬为他的即兴演奏做了多少准备，我们不得而知。大多数钢琴家……
…stockpile of salient words, metaphors, turns of phrase and clichés – usually organised thematically – that they would then draw upon while writing. I'm reminded of an excellent passage from "Lives of the Great Pianists" by former New York Times music critic Harold Schonberg when speaking on the strength of Beethoven's musical extemporization: "How much Beethoven prepared his improvisations we do not know. Most pianists…
……那个时代最顶尖的即兴演奏大师之一，完全把 Steibelt 比了下去——后者是当时的同代音乐家，而且大家都认为他有点像个江湖骗子。我将一字不差地引用 Harold Schonberg 在《The Lives of the Great Pianists》中的整段话。这一次，Steibelt 准备了一首为钢琴与弦乐而作的精彩幻想曲，其主题取自他前一周听到的贝多芬三重奏。Steibelt 的仰慕者们简直……
