14 Waltzes / Piano Sonata #3 by Chopin

On 2010-05-04 Jeffrey Jones, Northern California, USA wrote: I have heard many recordings of the B minor Sonata, and there is no shortage of wonderful readings. Lipatti´s is die-and-go-to-heaven beautiful. Kapell´s is a delight, displaying some of the most effortless technique ever to be recorded on a piano. Pogorelich´s is fiery, confident and proud. Brailowsky doesn´t match the more powerful younger generation, but his touch is from a bygone era, and the feeling he brings to this music bears a stamp of authenticity that is unmistakable. And he does it with no frippery, no funny ´rubato,´ no willful interpretation. Even the Largo, which is for so many pianists an opportunity to bend phrases to the breaking point, is played about as straight as it possibly could be and with very little pedal. He is aristocratic, but never aloof or detached. Why, he seems to ask, would anyone try to improve upon perfection?. And summed up by saying I keep coming back. Currently 14 Waltzes / Piano Sonata #3 has an overall rating of 10 over 10.
