4.0 out of 5 stars Poetic historical recordings, February 22, 2008

By	Cary R. Renfro "bujoldfan" (Salem, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The record company is coy about the dates of these recordings, but they come from various Chopin competitions and are live recordings. There is a good deal of variation in the sound, from mid 1980 digital to what are undoubtedly 78 rpm discs from the mid 1930s. If you look for note perfect performances, you won't find them here. But they are lively, spirited, and convey more music and emotion than many a perfectionist can.

Jan Ekier was apparently recorded at the 1937 competition. Adam Harasiewicz, Martha Argerich, and Dang Thai Son were recorded in 1955, 1965, and 1980 respectively. Yuval Fishman, Kemal Gekic, and Jean-Marc Luisada all performed in 1985.

Louis Kentner was recorded in the 78 era, but I can not tell from the liner notes when.

Anyway, I just close my eyes and get carried away by the music.

1.0 out of 5 stars It hurts to listen!!, April 29, 2001

By A Customer

I bought this CD expecting world-class performances without spending much money cuz the title says "Great Chopin Performers" ...instead I had to listen to lots of mistakes and unstable performances and inconsistancy in tones from bad recording or something. It hurts when a performer makes a single mistake. I just couldn't bear with it even considering that it's a recording from Chopin competition or whatever. so I CANNOT recommend this CD to no one.
