Distinction and refinement!, Sep 20 2006
By Hiram Gomez Pardo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pno Sons 2/3/Mazurkas 1-51 (Audio CD)
In this double CD we find distinguished treasures. The second Sonata is admirably phrased, with refinement and careful treatment of the thematic material. If Benedetti Michelangeli in 1957 gave us the most striking version of this Op. Francois delights us with his sublime and idiosyncratic approach. The Third Sonata lacks a certain dramatic level or existential tension respect let' s say Lipatti or Kapell performances, but it still remains among the top ten achievements ever recorded.The jewel of the crown are the whole set of Mazurkas. Since the times of Arthur Rubinstein we had not the chance to listen such admirable and charming miniature pieces, so well articulated and played. Francois confers them a zealous and particular distinction. He really makes these mazurkas breath and glow, with that astonishing grandeur touch. Since the moment I listened I was trapped and engaged due its bewitch and sublime artistic conviction
Don' t hesitate just for a second at the moment to acquire this record. You well deserve this radiant gem.

Buy it for the Mazurkas, Dec 31 2006
By PI57 "pi57" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pno Sons 2/3/Mazurkas 1-51 (Audio CD)
While there are better performances of a subset of the Mazurkas available by artists such as Sofronitsky and Friedman, this may well be the best complete set that is currently available. It is certainly, to my mind at least, preferable to the overrated and rather dull collection from Rubinstein. However, the Sonatas included here are not nearly as good. You would do much better with Cziffra, or Argerich in #3.

Francois perfects Chopin, again!, Mar 10 2005
By Linda Jan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pno Sons 2/3/Mazurkas 1-51 (Audio CD)
Samson Francois is simply marvelous when it comes to Chopin. He is extremely romantic, lyrical and is never heavy-handed with Chopin as some "romantic" pianists tend to do. I have found his playing extremely refreshing and satisfying and the Mazurrkas and sonatas in this recording is no exception.
Listmania!
