5.0 out of 5 stars MUSIC IS FIRST, AND SO IS THE PIANO. WONDERFUL !!!, May 8, 2003

This review is from: Romeo & Juliet / Cinderella (Audio CD)

Mr. Chiu offered this listener arguably the most gratifying recorded music experience. He approaches Prokofiev ( and other great composers ) first as a musician, with a depth of expression that left me breathless! But because his piano technique is flawless, his instrumental skill is almost a distraction, but Mr. Chiu somehow allows his fingers to feel every nuance. If you have ever loved the music of Prokofiev, this is a recording which will bring tears to your eyes with it's beauty. Mr. Chiu is equally understanding and expressive with Vol. 9 which I also have. Why this superlative pianist is not yet recognized among the top 3 pianists ever to record, along with Glenn Gould and Rubenstein puzzles me.I don't understand how any human being can be so gifted ! Thank you, thank you, Frederick Chiu.
