Free Music Notes for Chopin: Twenty Four Pr?ludes Op.28
Free Music Review: Best recording of the preludes
Hit: 5 Stars
Pollini here gives my personal favorite reading of the 24 Preludes. There are of course many other top notch versions, such as those by Ashkenazy, Argerich and Perahia; and with such endless competition, in the final analysis it becomes largely a matter of personal taste. Pollini, I think, holds his own very nicely after nearly 35 years (the recording sessions date from June and July, 1974). IMO this is also Pollini's finest Chopin playing on the DG label, and perhaps his best overall DG recording. Unlike his more famous recording of the 24 Etudes, you will hear greater coloristic variety here. He gets greater warmth from his engineers than in the somewhat hammery sonics of the Etudes recording (part of the reason, I believe, why that CD is a turn off for some.) Here is the Pollini I grew up with: a natural, effortless purity pervades his playing, with miking that captures his first class sound, unlike the murkier perspective of many of his recent recordings. One may not find in this reading the drama of an Argerich, or the same degree of poetic freedom found in so many other Chopin discs. But in his own searching and meditative way, there emerges from this disc pointed insights and subtle poetic twists, all delivered with an uncanny intelligence I find unique among recordings of the Preludes. If you're used to the more austere, tonally less interesting Pollini of today, this disc is well worth trying. At 36:18, it's rather skimpy, but one of the few cases where the quality more than makes up for the quantity.
