Extractions: "Lewin was brilliant. He gave vent to the theatricality of the Menotti with a flair for the dramatic that never got out of hand. Lewin's performance was high drama mixed with superb taste. Even more impressvie were the pianist's moments with all those more intimate notes he so impeccably played with such dazzling virtuosity." Reno Gazette-Journal "He plays with what looks like a feather-light touch, but the notes explode from the piano... He demonstrated an intellect to drive the technique. His playing in the opening movement mashalled all the seething drama of the music without sacrificing the clarity of Mozart's intricate inner part-writing... he played with stunning brilliance."

Extractions: Olymp im Überblick Kritiken der Woche Archiv-Inhalt Titelseite/Inhalt William-Kapell-Edition - Werke von Bach, Brahms, Chopin, Schubert u. a. W ahre Helden sterben früh: Er hätte der berühmteste Pianist Amerikas, ja der ganzen Welt werden können, wenn nicht ein Flugzeugabsturz ihn mit einunddreißig Jahren aus dem Leben gerissen hätte. Trotzdem ist Kapell in den Herzen derer, die ihn noch erleben durften oder das Glück hatten, einige seiner wenigen Schallplatten zu ergattern, jene künstlerische Ausnahmeerscheinung geblieben, als die ihn schon zu seinen Lebzeiten nicht wenige Klavierexperten wahrgenommen haben. Dank der mühevollen Recherche seiner New Yorker Fangemeinde und des noch nicht dahingegangenen Verantwortungsbewußtseins seines Labels RCA kann sich nun jeder Klavier-Interessierte, sechsundvierzig Jahre nach Kapells Tod, ein Bild von der Größe dieses Pianisten machen, und es wird sehr deutlich, daß die Legendenbildungen nicht immer nur der Faszination des Augenblicks zugeschrieben werden können. Nach dieser in jeder Beziehung vorbildlichen, mehr als zehn Stunden währenden Dokumentation seines klingenden Nachlasses wird man die Interpretationsgeschichte unseres Jahrhunderts teilweise umschreiben müssen. Was einen sofort für diesen ungemein modern wirkenden und energisch artikulierenden Pianisten einnimmt, ist die einzigartige Kombination aus Wachheit des Geistes, Leidenschaft des Herzens und einer pianistischen Bravour und Attacke, die nirgends eine Spur von Attitüde oder Selbstgefälligkeit verrät, sondern in stets radikaler Weise sich dem Geist einer Komposition verpflichtet fühlt. Fast alles, was Kapell sich vornahm, klang danach anders, als man es von anderen Pianisten im Ohr hatte: frischer, lebendiger, gestalthafter, sinnerfüllter.

Arbiter Liner Notes Essays on william kapell (19221953) tend to focus Notice the transformation fromkapell s youthful encounter with his sudden death, finds the pianist well in http://www.arbiterrecords.com/notes/108notes.html
Extractions: As a preface to Kapell's letters, we begin with Dr. Dehavenon's spontaneous comments, made during her first listening to these performances after remastering. They attest to her extensive musical background: she had studied piano with Sergei Tarnowsky (one of Vladimir Horowitz's teachers) and possesses a sharp, sensitive, analytical ear. Her observations indicate what Kapell considered important and reflect her understanding of his art through the last seven years of his life. From his initial performances, Kapell's innate musical gifts stirred listeners, attracting a devoted public and the admiration and support of the musical elite. Mieczyslaw Horszowski noted in his diary each Kapell concert he had attended, their few meetings, and his passing. The fervor which Kapell inspired throughout his career moved individuals to record many of his concert performances which otherwise would not have been preserved. When I have a few days to prepare a recital I feel fine on stage. When I play two days after a recital I cannot but feel shaky and nervous because even my conscientiousness doesn't help then because of the time element, which is darned important. The really outstanding concerts were the ones where I had a week between to rest and study. The Brahms Sonata, Op. 5 went like a dream, but the Schubert, which was new anyway, and came two days later, was like a bad dream.

[Kapell's performance of the Prokofiev 3rd] boasts a tigerish vivacity and rhythmic ebullience absent from the pianist's studio version a month earlier... " International Piano Quarterly : Winter 1997: Jed Distler "...momentum and freewheeling pianism... ...an indispensable issue... ...a fiery, passionate 1953 Brahms D Minor Concerto..." The Absolute Sound : January, 1999: Dan Davis " the excitement is virtually palpable; performances of such hell-fire are inconceivable in the recording studio. Fanfare : March/April 1998: Lawrence A. Johnson "The feel of profundity in the Brahms performance approaches the religious, greatly aided by Mitropoulos' obvious reverence for the score. And the Prokofiev has more dash and much more fire than the curiously bland version Kapell recorded for RCA with Dorati. "
