4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not exellent., November 4, 2000
By Juan Miralles Miralles (Bunyola, Illes Balears Spain) - See all my reviews
This CD is a digital remastering of a recital that Michelangeli gave in Turin. For the sound isn't the traditional on a typical CD, but it can pass. The pieces that Michelangeli offers in this record are from the piano traditional repertoire. All the classical music fans know this pieces and everybody is agree that they are marvellous. But I think that Michelangeli can do a better interpretation that this one. I'm agree that lots of pianists, who belongs to a lower category in this little world, do worse versions than this one. But people in the selected few (and Michelangeli belongs to the selected few of the piano) like Zimmerman or Argerich take a beautiful sound to the piano, this sound that Chopin wants and Michelangeli doesn't offer. Although, Michelangeli does a correct version, but not the version that I would like when I listened his glorious version of the Images and the Children's corner of Debussy.

I only recomended this record to the fans of Michelangeli.

5.0 out of 5 stars A piano legend!, December 24, 2005
By Hiram Gomez Pardo (Valencia, Venezuela) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli incarnated during many years the aristocratic mood in piano playing. Architectonic refinement, meditative phrasing without any single bit of delirious Romanticism. His performances are contemplative rather than visceral, he played the piano like an entomologist , searching the perfect balance of musicality and expression. His limpid phrasing and specially one of his most reminded personal trademarks: to leave the bar floating to create an introspective atmosphere.

If you are looking for a hyper Romantic Chopin, forget about it. Michelangeli enhanced and expressed wisely new angles of performing the beloved son of Poland.

I would like to remark, there are other players who has followed this fabulous approach; Alfred Cortot, Samson Francois, Ivan Moravec (pupil of Benedetti) and Dinu Lipatti, among the most representative ones.
