Free Music Review: A TRUE BARGAIN
Hit: 5 Stars
It is very exalting when I'm able to find a bargain on something that I really adore. This recording of the Chopin piano concertos is one of the best bargains that I have ever purchased. At an unbelievable low price of $6.98, I got over 70 minutes of music that includes both of Chopin's concertos on one (1) disc and more importantly the supreme artistry of Alexis Weissenberg on piano with the Orchestre de la Societe des Concerts du Conservatoire lead by Stanislaw Skrowaczewski. What could be better than that? For some odd reason, I've never heard Alexis play Chopin's concertos although I hold him, as a pianist, in the highest esteem. That said, this is indeed a marvelous recording. Alexis Weissenberg plays Chopin's concertos most beautifully and romantically. Although I own many recordings of the Chopin piano concertos, I was completely swept away with this recording and to me this recording shines above any of the others that I own of the works. Alexis' playing is so controlled and beautiful. I, once again, was able to lean back in my "arm chair" and enjoy a master of the piano play some of classical music's finest compositions and realizing again that life ain't really too bad when one can obtain at such a low price such beautiful music as is represented on this disc. The second movement of the second concerto in F minor is immensely beautiful. Alexis and Stanislaw give it a very dramatic and "heart-felt" performance--gorgeous! Alexis' use of rubato is marvelous.
EMI has again done a superb job transferring these very lush recordings to the CD format. I'm very pleased with my "bargain".
