Impromptus
Pollini Plays Chopin, Opp. 33-36 & 38
Chopin
Deutsche Grammophon, 2008
More outstanding Chopin, with a nice surpfise
By any reasonable estimation Maurizio Pollini, at age 66, is one of the world's supreme pianists, with his still infallible technique, his intellectual power, and his musical communication. A new Chopin recording by this great artist is always cause for rejoicing. ...
Chopin: Favorite Piano Works
Frederic Chopin
,
Vladimir Ashkenazy
Decca, 1996
Why are you waiting?
Ashkenazy is one of the titans of Chopin. Davidovich and Arrau are the other two. They're all you need. Get Davidovich for the concertos, (inlcuding the Krakowiak--Op 14), Arrau for the nocturnes and a few micscellaneous pieces. Ashkenazy handles everything else. ...

Claudio Arrau
Philips, 1997
Nocturnissimo
This double CD represents a beautiful dreamy interpretation of Chopin's nocturnes...Claudio Arrau is a truly trusty Chopin interpreter. The sound is crisp and not over-produced/mastered. My golden retriever dog Laura,who I believe could be a re-incarnation of Clara ...

Johannes Brahms

RCA, 1992
A "Must Own" item for all Piano Students!
If you a piano student, your teacher will probably assign you at least half of the compositions in this CD. You need to hear how they should be played. This is a wonderful CD to use to help you learn the pieces. These piano selections are not the "World's Favorites" ...
Music for Solo Harp
Elizabeth Hainen
Naxos, 2002
Gorgeous!
For a long time, I've loved music for the solo harp. For a long time, too, I've (please forgive me) not been a fan of the market of solo harp recordings. Why? Honestly, it comes down to the selection of peices. That is, too many solo harp records either tend to fall ...

Schubert: Impromptus For Piano
Franz Schubert
,
Murray Perahia
Sony, 1990
OMFG!
Perahia's recording of Schubert is amazing! Every track on this CD is moving, insightful, and fun. Though the only other renditions I've heard are Horowitz's 899 #4 and Brendel's 899 #3, I liked Perahia's versions more. The beginning of Perahia's 899#4 is like a nice ...

Artur Rubinstein in Concert
Deutsche Grammophon, 2008
Rubinstein in the indian summer of his career
Following their release of Artur Rubinstein's Grieg, Chopin and Saint-Saëns concertos, Deutsche Grammophon issues another fascinating programme about the great pianist, recorded two years earlier, in August 1973, at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. Rubinstein can be ...
Bartok: Complete Solo Piano Music
Bela Bartok
,
György Sándor
Vox (Classical), 2003
Best classical value out there
To put this set in perspective, for months I would go to my local Tower Records fishing for worthwhile classical CDs at least once a week. One of the discs that sat in the bins the longest was a single CD of Bartok piano music, played by Zoltan Kocsis. It was Volume ...
Schubert: The Complete Impromptus
Franz Schubert
,
Alfred Brendel
Philips, 1997
little music
Franz Schubert's piano impromptus are not big music. Not only are the pieces relatively brief, but the absence of instruments other than solo piano and the evasion of bombast by Schubert altogether make these compositions small music. But small is beautiful. ...
Great Recordings Of The Century - Dinu Lipatti
Johann Sebastian Bach
,
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
, ...
EMI Classics, 1999
Supremely sensitive musicianship
Dinu Lipatti's interpretation of these Bach partitas carries such poetry and fluid grace - never showy or rushed - that these stand among some of the finest recordings out there. He really brings out the ebb and flow of the music so that it seems to breathe with the ...

Horowitz: The Last Recording
Haydn, Liszt, Wagner Chopin
,
Vladimir Horowitz
Sony, 1990
The Last and One of the Very Best
It is truly amazing to think that Horowitz was 86 years old when he made this recording. The virtuoso passages of Chopin that require fingertip pyrotechnics are played with flawless precision and a sense of nuance and shading that is exquisite. At his very best, ...
