[RemovdSande11]

ah I love this waltz. And i love Grunfeld's playing. Makes my inner face smile.

[Edi7oR]

Was he playing with little use of pedal? It sounds dry but i like it.

I'm so glad this post was sent on to me. Grunfeld was not just an elegant stylist but a substantial musician with a repertoire that included such works as the Grieg Ballade and the difficult Etudes Symphoniques of Schumann; his work with the great teacher Kullak further honed his gifts. The unusually harsh critic Hanslick had high praise for him. More Grunfeld, please! (:-D)

just Beautiful.

[AulicExclusiva]

Beautiful.

He was known as a light salon pianist, a puritanical bit of nonsense that his elegant disks refute abundantly.

Superb! Bravo! TY.

What a pleasure! Can't really enjoy Kissin playing some of this, after hearing such colorful, finely nuanced performances.

[paulostroff99]

@kjw163 -Absolutely right on.

I think it is a very nice series to. I have all the sheats at home. a funny thing is that all the songs are not played completely with the reppetitions and alternative endings. but it does sound very nice. I failed to get to hear numbers 5, 6, 7,8 until now :D

anyone know where I can listen to number 9?

One of the most interesting features of the (unsteady-steady)style of Rhythm is the constant threatening to dissolve into chaos ...that never quite happens.

This series is a master class!  Thanks so much for posting these.
