  • Anda's was very pure

  • Chopin's own playing might strike us as very odd. When Cortot and Rubinstein came along in the 1920's, they were considered to revolutionize Chopin playing, and what we're used to hearing dates from then.

    Koczalski is the only pianist here who gives us a sample of the earlier style. Otherwise, Moravec is the only unusual one; more Slavic than French. I like them all except Pollini, who once again is a little chilly for my taste. Don't complain about rubato, it enables this music to breathe.

  • I don't understand why these great pianists can't play in a simple and straightforward manner; this little gem can't sustain such tortured rubati! Koczalski is fabulous; surely Chopin played like this! Richter imparts a very deep expression; his is my second favorite. Perahia is the third best; he totally "gets it!" Anda is also very fine; de Groot has gorgeous tone and of those who use rubato, his make the most sense to me. The others were just boring, misguided, or bad.

  • the second one was best

  • @briandonohue100 LOL What the fuck??

  • Chopin’s B Minor Prelude: Hot August morning rain, distant thunder. A funeral procession crawls along a gray city street. A fat woman in a bright yellow pant suit, hurrying to catch the next train, pauses for a second, bows her head, crosses herself, moves on, more slowly.

  • when the picture shows sofronitsky for sure it's not him playing. the sound,apart from he noise due to the record level which is too high , is to good to be him, all of his records are of a much worse sound quality and 2 decates before....

  • Rosenthal and Benno really ought to be here.

  • ahem. I said have you ever played it with the right sound, feeling, and dynamics. I agree that it is easier to PLAY than all the other preludes, but not easy to make sound pretty

  • Yes, this piece is so easy that my professor asked me to play it. It is easier than Op.28#1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10 ,11, 12 ,13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24. But I'm not realy sure if it is easier than Op.28# 4, 7 or 20.
