The Supreme Chopin interpreter,
By Scriabinmahler (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chopin: Preludes and Other Piano Works (Audio CD)
The disc is EMI's budget CD, but the performances included here are of highest quality. In fact I've never come across any performances that come so close to Chopin's ideal - the fragile beauty, the shimmering tone colours, the noble poetry and the heart-felt intimacy of Barenboim's playing reminds me of what Chopin's contemporaries described of his pianism. I've got dozens of CDs of 24 Preludes, but this is the one I always come back to for its radiant beauty that only comes from a self-effacing, sincere heart.
The disc is very genourously filled, not only with 24 Preludes, but also with breath taking rendition of Op.45 Prelude, Berceuse, Polonaise-Fantasie, Variations in A (Souvenir de Paganini), and Introduction & Variations on a theme from Herold's Ludovic (Variations brillantes). Almost 75 minutes of gorgeous piano playing no pianophiles can resist! Beautifully recorded in stereo, 1973&76.
