About Chopin: 4 Ballades, Barcarolle In F Sharp
Product description No Description Available No Track Information Available Media Type: CD Artist: CHOPIN,F. Title: BALLADES 1-4/BARCAROLLE/ETC Street Release Date: 10/11/1988 Domestic Genre: CLASSICAL COMPOSERS Amazon.com Krystian Zimerman's Chopin is big. He plays this music with a great dynamic range and huge contrasts, with little of the shading we love in Rubinstein's Chopin. Except for the Barcarolle, these are pretty big pieces, so Zimerman doesn't exactly overwhelm the music. It's just very 20th- century Chopin, not on the composer's original scale, but not badly done either. I think this disc would sound a lot better in a large listening room than in a small one, however (or in your car). The recording is too close up; we could have used more distance from the piano. --Leslie Gerber
