Description: Further DetailsTitle: Chopin: Piano Concerto No. 1 in E minor Op. 11 / Variations on La Ci Darem La Mano , Op. 2, Grande Valse Brillante in A minor, Op. 34 No. 2Condition: NewDescription: EDITORIAL REVIEWS AMAZON In his second volume of Chopin on a mid-19th-century Érard, Ax continues to demonstrate both the qualities of the instrument and his own artistry. The best test of the disc is the second movement of the concerto, in which Ax makes the Érard sing, plays with artistic flexibility and taste, and interacts beautifully and convincingly with the period-instrument orchestra. (Chopin's often-maligned orchestration sounds better than usual with these instruments.) Ax turns the waltz into a miniature tone poem in an exquisite performance. The early variations, which led Schumann to proclaim Chopin a genius, sound like fluff today, but these players make it entertaining. This disc is both an artistic experience and a musical education. --Leslie GerberFormat: CDGenre: ClassicalArtist: Frederic ChopinNo Of Discs: 1Record Label: Sony RecordsEAN: 0074646077122 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
