5.0 out of 5 stars Very excellent collection of Chopin, March 22, 2000

Beau (Minnesota) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Horowitz: Favorite Chopin (Audio CD)

Horowitz proves on this CD why he was/is recognized as one of the greatest performers of all time. This CD has a collection of music that ranges from soft and serene to vigorous and powerful. Horowitz himself adds more emotion to each piece, and this CD displays both his talent as a piano player and Chopin's wide variety of composition. Chopin wrote some of the hardest music to play, and very few people can play it well and consistent. Horowitz does both at an extraordinary level. If you like either Chopin or Horowitz, this is a MUST.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for all Chopin and Horowita lovers!, July 1, 2000

"rd513" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Horowitz: Favorite Chopin (Audio CD)

This cd is probably the best one cd collection of Chopin's work I have ever heard. The sound quality is excellent. Horowitz at his best. The first track gives me goosebumps. If you are contemplating buying only one classical piano cd, this should be it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Chopin from Horowitz, September 6, 2003

David (AZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Horowitz: Favorite Chopin (Audio CD)

Horowitz was one of the greatest interpreters of the mazurkas and polonaises. He is at home with Chopin in these pieces. And on this record they are plays better than any I have heard. The Scherzo no. 1 is my favorite recording of this work, and I have owned and heard many. No one plays this piece with the fire and as feverishly as Horowitz. The rest of the cd is beautifully played although not as memorable as the others.
