No Casio? No Problem.,
By Bertha Bachrach (ILLVILLE, Englande) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Favourite Pno Wks (Audio CD)
Just another amazing recording of a composer who will forever be immune to cliche and by whom we will constanly define what is and is not.

Would be better if...,
By OctagonAmbassador (Walla Walla, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Favourite Pno Wks (Audio CD)
I'm all for the preservation of the treasures of history, but c'mon, let's hip it up a little. Distortion isn't really a bad thing, you know. How bad ass would it be to hear these gems with one slight adaptation: forget piano, that's so 1830. Get with the times and pony up a few bills for a new-fangled invention called a keyboard. It's a really keen contraption with which you can actually play a variety of music from different time periods. Maybe you've heard of a little revolution called techno. Tell me that it's not an artform to mix pre-recorded samples with subtle manipulation of the different tracks. Not to mention the complex composition of original pieces. Imagine, if you will, composing a full spectrum of melodies and beats through the original creation of a bassline and then adding, piece by piece, different rearrangements of various tones and miscellaneous noises. The parallels between "classical" and techno are innumberable. If that's not sub-genius, I don't know what is.

A very good choice, but get the Philips too,
By hjonkers (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Favourite Pno Wks (Audio CD)
There is not that much to add to the other reviewer's comments: these two discs are a bargain and unreservedly recommended. Ashkenazy is indeed the very best overall Chopin interpreter around. I immensely enjoyed his treatment of pieces such as the second scherzo and the g minor ballade. Not to mention the etudes, the preludes, etc. etc. Ashkenazy is never doing stupid things, such as beating the hell out of the numerous fortissimo chords. Instead he offers a very pleasant sounding forte at a ferocious Steinway. All is crisp and clear, and the fact that some recordings are analogue doesn't matter at all: in fact, they are hard to be discovered. But keep something in mind: as I said, Ashkenazy is arguably overall the best. This implies that he can be bettered in some ways. Philips has also released a Best-of Chopin set, which contains better renditions of some Waltzes (Kocsis), the Barcarolle and Mazurkas (Kovacevich) and the impromptus (Davidovich). Additionally, the Philips discs give you the Marcia funebre, the Fantaisie-Polonaise and the fourth Ballade, three big pieces that cannot be found over here. Overall it is more balanced too. So if you are going to buy just one best-of-Chopin set, go for the Philips. The best choice, however, is to get both of them!
