  • Barenboim is puffed up so has become his piano... totally out of framem, too jumpy, no clarity and octaves! I know the times changed and all but Chopin is light as a feather and should never be performed in such self-orgasmic way. I repect Barenboim with Liszt,Beethoven,even with Bhrams but he seems far too heavy for Chopin...I"d suggest Rubinstein or Zimerman in that matter.peace

  • too noisy and no clarity something unusual of baremboim he is usualy the best, he probably wasnt having the best day when he played it

  • I hate the octaves, ITS SO HARD!!!

  • You don't have to be able to play like a concert pianist to know that this is not Barenboim's best work. This performance is a mess, and I'm sure Barenboim would admit to it.

  • @rinsim Yes, insuperable!!

  • ...he sounds like somebody who has been conducting for a long time, but not playing the piano in public...he is hearing it all in his head, but not really what the instrument is putting out...compare this to how Rubinstein, Horowitz, and Richter sounded when they got older...not like this, because they never stopped playing in public...

  • Great playing but the sound of the recording could be better. Thanks for posting.

  • thank you barenboim for not playing the octaves too fast and making me feel bad

  • @singingisall Blechacz is insuperable.
