  • Novaes was one of the greatest without a doubt. Her interpretations were very individual and very poetic. Her tone was one of the most beautiful I ever heard, and I'd put her up there with Cortot as one of the very finest Chopin pianists of all time. I heard her in NY in 1968 near the end of her career. She was still regal as ever, with a ravishing sound.

  • I envy you. As a child I heard her play a number of times in NYC at Town Hall. Nobody, but nobody ever played the piano more beautifully than Guiomar Novaes.

  • This is absolutely mindblowing! Perhaps the best 3rd Sonata ever. She sounds as if she were a combination of Dinu Lipatti, Clara Haskil and Arthur Rubinstein.

  • ...too magisterial...if she sounded more like she was shitting bricks a little...would have helped, maybe...but, hell, who sounds like Giuomar these days?...gotta learn to appreciate the lady after all...

  • Chopin, pelo meu desconhecimento mais profundo de música erudita, não é dos meus prediletos compositores.

    Mas sempre é MUITO MELHOR do que ligar o rádio. Sempre.

  • Bravo!!!

  • ABSOLUTELY Hair raising ASTOUNDING beautiful art. Now THAT IS MUSIC !!

  • I had never heard of Guiomar Novaes until 1990 when I bought 3 tapes of her playing Chopin. An absolute revelation! Her Chopin Nocturnes are simply exquisite -- incredibly lyrical. It is just marvelous to find so many posts of her work on YouTube. Thank you!

  • Simply the best.
