I will post it no problem :) I have VERY big collection of Gould

[filippeo85]

and when hi recorde etudes,hi didn't speed up,like some pianist I know.And in some etudes you can hear mistakes - no.8 op10 and 11 0p.25

and his recordings of Bet. sonatas and concertos are GREAT!!!

[chrisczajasager]

ah, the immaculate and effortless technique a n d musicianship,

creative pedalling, variety of accentuation

my favorite recorded performance of this devilishly-challenging etude!

the old Bösendorfer played by its greatest player, Backhaus !

[Starwalker6978]

I like the pedal!

I didn't think Backhaus was this good. This etude is a real test of finger independence and strength for the 3,4 and 5 fingers. I've listened to at least 10 other famous pianists and Backhaus has excellent speed and dexterity. (faster than most)

Wow!

[geuros]

I have two favourite interprets of Chopin etudes - Wilhelm Backhaus and Murray Perahia. For example, this piece i rather listen by Backhaus but 10/1 - I have not listened better recording than the Perahia's - only recommend you ;)

@lovesGenet That's not true, Lazar Berman can play it fast and he does play it fast.

Is this still in - print as a CD? and if so, could you kindly provide the details? Thanks for posting (I like WB's little flourish at the end of the Am etude - a different era...)
