About different interpretations: People differ in their preferences for performances of Chopin. That's just the way it is - e.g. some like Arrau, some like Pollini, some like Hofmann - whatever. I once heard Mozart's Requiem conducted by Leonard Berstein (it's on youtube) at a VERY slow tempo - far slower than anything else I'd ever heard. It was phenomenal! Some people didn't like it. So? Same with Berstein's very slow (and beautiful - also on youtube) version of Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony.

@MaslAlek You are entitled to your opinion. It takes a genius performer to realize the genius of a composer like Chopin. It's a hand-in-hand, cooperative venture. Would you rather hear a 2 year piano student play the genius of Chopin, or Pollini? The point I was trying to make is that Pollini plays Chopin so well it almost seems like Pollini is "channeling" Chopin. Anyway, enjoy the music; that's what it's really all about. Words don't do either Chopin, or Pollini, justice. 2 geniuses!

Sometimes I think Pollini is Chopin, reincarnated - he's that good!
