Early Autumn - Apple and Cinnamon

New VapeSafe Early Autumn eLiquid.

Early Autumn - Apples and Cinnamon flavored eLiquid evokes memories of the beginning of fall. The feel of the warm autumn sun on the skin. The sight of vibrant hues of amber and crimson leaves hanging in gently swaying trees soaking up the light. The rustling sound of the breeze slipping through the tree branches tugging and teasing the remaining leaves into releasing their hold and floating downward. The laughing children raking the leaves into piles and then running and jumping into the soft, luscious piles scattering the leaves again. The delicious smells of baking apple and cinnamon pies wafting through open windows. These are the sights, smells and tastes of Early Autumn.

Early Autumn eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of Autumn no matter what season it is. Early Autumn eLiquid is flavorful combination of apples and cinnamon. As with all of the VapeSafe eLiquids, our mixtures are designed to produce nice, heavy vapors and the most succulent flavors. Try Early Autumn eLiquid today!

Summary: "Behold the Majesty!"

These recordings of the late sonatas are classic and in my opinion are greater than the Kempff(both), the Schnabel, the Lili Kraus, the Yvonne Lefebure, the Backhaus, the Gilels, the Richter and the EMI Annie Fischer.

...the only ones that come real close are Annie Fischer's stereo Hungariton recordings.

These Solomon recordings are the greatest of his Beethoven legacy and are somehting to be cherished and honored!

Timeless!

Summary: "A labor of love from Solomon."

I agree with the other reviewers that this set of Beethoven's late piano sonatas is extraordinarily good. And while the performance of the "Hammerklavier" is extremely good (every review I've ever read praises it to the skies), I just can't help quibbling with the tempo of the first movement. Beethoven's metronome marking is for an extremely fast tempo (in cut-time, one-half note = 138), and like almost all pianists, Solomon plays it too slowly. But he plays it faster than many. And his performance of the surpassingly beautiful slow movement is quite moving indeed.

The performances I like best on this set, however, are the lyrical sonatas: Opus 90, Opus 109, and Opus 110. I wouldn't be without them, and sometimes they are almost daily fare. This is late Beethoven at its best. Get this set. You can't go wrong. Incidentally, the late English pianist and accompanist, Gerald Moore, always used to praise Solomon lavishly. After listening to these recordings, you will understand why.

Summary: "A Hammerklavier Like No Other"

If your looking for a "Hammerklavier" to add to your library, you can't go wrong with this one. This release won Gramophone Magazine's award for remastering of historical material and justly so. I've listened to this one again and again over the past few years and I never grow tired of it. An excellent buy.

Summary: "A Final Testament for Two..."

For those looking for the "Last Word" in solo piano repertoire: LvB's final half-dozen sonatas on his favorite instrument, recorded by British pianist Solomon (nee Cutner) between 1951-1956, just before his own career-ending stroke. To those who think Sviatoslav Richter's "TEMPEST" and Rudolf Serkin's "MOONLIGHT" and "PATHETIQUE" are definitive: so too are these. With only minor sound issues (a small edit blip towards the end of Sonata No.31 and Mono sound in general) these performances transfix more than all the others (Brendel, Kempff, Pollini, Hess) I have experienced. Listen to No.32 and... The End.

Summary: "Simply breathtaking"

Maurizio Pollini may have nailed every nuance of this music to technical perfection in his late '70s recordings for Deutsche Grammophon, but only the late British pianist Solomon imbues these sonatas with transcendent vision. The honor of listening to music this fine is akin to holy communion with Beethoven himself. Not to be missed.
