His Chopin Ballade 4 recorded in 1960's for 'The conoisseur Society' label is without doubt the finest ever on disc. He is such a great artist.

the documentarian is crap and doesn't do the pianist any justice

I love Moravec's playing. So many great ones are gone now...Horowitz, Arrau, Rubinstein, Richter, Bolet, Michelangeli...we are so fortunate Moravec is still with us. He is very much of the stature of the piano masters I just mentioned, in my opinion. He is a wonderful Chopin pianist, and if you've never heard his recording of the Schumann Concerto, big, borrow or steal one! Or catch it on YouTube, if it's here
