  • Of course Chopin is to be played with rubato, but her 25-1 simply goes too far. It lacks a rhythmic backbone. Chopin himself, and all great Chopin players after him, agreed that this is essential. She doesn't have it, and the piece loses coherence as a result. To get a full sense of what she does wrong, compare, for example, Rubinstein's rendition in the Moscow recital (available on youtube).

  • wow,

  • Listen to her soundher ideas about the bass! The line is weilded the way pianists of his generation did,HearLeschetizky pupil MarkHambourg in this and you will be reborn. Licad is very personal not cookie-cutter .This is fabulous Chopin!

  • THIS IS WONDERFUL PLAYING TOP CLASS.

  • Beautiful, colorfully played! ^_^

  • are you really more concerned than the rules on Chopin performances too be inputed with less rubato than the passion she puts unto her playing? think about it, if all players agree to a certain degree of playing, then pianistic interpretation will be extinct in no time. Rubinstein is the only pianist I know who followed exactly how Chopin intended all his works to be played, but Licad can't try to be exactly like him

  • i think its positive

  • they were all WAY to loud especially no.2 i think..

  • im proud to be pinoy!!im also a fan of cecil licad....she's godlike!

  • is that positive or negative?

  • Good technique, but I personally don't think the Chopin would have wanted certain notes to be stretched and emphasized to that extent .
