  • Great playing, with "orchestral" sound. Very clear phrasing, rhythm and dynamics.

    Reminds me of the words of H. Neuhaus:

    "The orchestra is the first solo-instrument, the piano, in rank and importance, the second."

    And of the words of Anton Rubinstein:

    "Do you believe that this is only *one* instrument? It can be *hundred* instruments!"

  • Does anyone have the Glenn Gould recording of this transcription? I recall a clearer phrasing, but that was 30 years ago...would like to compare. Please upload if you have it and have my deep appreciation.

  • the most amazing thing I have heard in years!! Fantastic! When do you come to Holland...

  • the most amazing thing I have heard in years!! Fantastic!

  • saw him play this live last night!

  • Plays the accentuation of the motive wrong every time it comes alone. Starting at the very beginning of the movement..

  • Fantastic.

  • Awesome Frederick...I've been following you since the Van Cliburn. You are an awesome pianist!

  • Not just okay. Much better... extremely exciting. Wow. Who needs Glen Gould. Mr. Chiu can play it for us on You Tube. We are fortunate indeed. Thank you sir. I will be buying another one of your CD's. I have the one of Ravel, Decaux and Schonberg, titled "Reflections". The more I see and hear, the more I become convinced that you are a great artist and entertainer. But you have also provided to me revelations of the truest meaning of music.

  • Man-orchestra.Awesome!

  • great performance! 5 stars :)
