5.0 out of 5 stars A great Dame of French Piano., January 27, 2005

This review is from: 24 Preludes (Audio CD)

Mme Darre give us a beautiful interpretation of Chopin's Preludes. I believe her technique is in the same level of Rubinstein's or Arrau's gifts (it is enough to listen to her early recordings, Saint-Saëns Five Piano Concertos, for example). Her sound is full, the "tempi" are correct to me. The Fantasie and the Berceuse sound very beautiful too. A great Dame of French piano. Five stars!
