5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Performances, July 30, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Chopin: Fantasy on Polish Airs; Four Impromptus; Three Mazurkas; Etc. (Audio CD)
His interpretation of Chopin is one of the best in recent memories. The music is played with great clarity and poetry. There are certain passages where Mr. Nakamatsu interprets quite differently from other conventional performers. I have never heard of those tones inside Chopin's music before. Really mind openning. I really admire Nakamatsu's confidence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Captivating, June 12, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Chopin: Fantasy on Polish Airs; Four Impromptus; Three Mazurkas; Etc. (Audio CD)
Mr. Nakamatsu's Chopin interpretation is absolutely beautiful and poetic, and it does not suffer from the quirky eccentricities that some performers add into their interpretations- instead, it is fresh, clear, precise, dynamic, and captivating. A negative is that the recording suffers from some echoing reverbs. However, this is more than made up for by the amazing Steinway concert grand that Mr. Nakamatsu used for the recording: it has a brilliantly rich and sonorous tone that magically assists him in conveying the deep emotions and the lyrical richness of Chopin's music- indeed, this is one of the best pianos I have ever listened to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, poetic, lyrical rendition of Chopin., March 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Chopin: Fantasy on Polish Airs; Four Impromptus; Three Mazurkas; Etc. (Audio CD)
I purchased this out of curiosity and was not expecting a great deal from it. However, it is brilliant! Nakamatsu captures Chopin's romance and passion with great sensitivity.
