Chopin: Piano Concerto No. 2 (Liner Notes) They travel with their chosen partner, practice on it, and invariably, no matter where they find themselves, have a friend to play with, while we pianists forever confront the disparate qualities of the instrument that we will face tonight and its differences, for both good and ill, from yesterday's piano. The works on this recording are all from Chopin's youth, but it is clear, from the first notes of the F-Minor Concerto, that Chopin was a fully formed artist when he arrived in Western Europe bearing these pieces as his passport to the great world. Possibly the ill-repute of Chopin's orchestral writing stems from the fact that the individual parts (of the string instruments in particular) are not very interesting in themselves, yet are difficult to play - the slightest inattention results in too much volume or in bad ensemble. www.sonyclassical.com /music/63371/liner.html   (1438 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Rachmaninov - Piano Sonata No 2; Variations on a Theme by Chopin: Music: Konstantin Scherbakov,Sergey ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) There is no question that Scherbakov has plenty of technique; I had been a bit concerned, though, that he might be one of those virtuosos who play everything fast--there had been some hint of that in the Beethoven 'Pastoral' transcription. Recorded when he was still a young man, himself a recent Tchaikovsky winner, it gives a picture of Ashkenazy when he was still only a pianist--he had not yet begun his conducting career--and his playing still had excitement and authority in it; sadly, in recent years the excitement has seemed to be replaced by routine. This is a young man playing a young man's composition; Rachmaninov had composed the sonata in Italy during the first flush of his combined international career as pianist and composer. amazon.co.uk /Rachmaninov-Sonata-Variations-Theme-Chopin/dp/B000050WO9   (1048 words)

Last check: 2007-11-01) No: they have it in their blood, it is completely natural to them, the speak Chopin's idiom as if it were their mother tongue. However Krystian Zimerman, despite being as polish as Chopin, does not rise to the ocassion at all times during the Chopin Piano Concertos, and I have to say, the playing is excellent, the interpretation is supreme, but this is not Chopin by a long shot. In 1830, at the age of 19, Chopin was smitten with the young Polish soprano Konstancja Gladkowska, and he credits her as the inspiration for his two Concertos for Piano and Orchestra, composed during that year. www.amazon.com /Chopin-Piano-Concertos-Nos-2/dp/B00002DE0S   (2298 words)

Chopin: 14 Waltz/Piano Sonata No.3 : Music The Sonata No. 3 in B minor, Op. His performance of Chopin´s magnificent Sonata No. 3 is something to cherish forever, especially in the pulse-pounding final movement. This opinion, on the waltzes, can be stated by a quote from Chopin himself-"My waltzes are not for dancing!" Rachmaninov believed Chopin´s waltzes should be liberated from their titles, and withdrawn from their playing in salons, and Garrick Ohlsson approached them as if they were nocturnes. www.eldus.com /an/B000002779.html   (1381 words)

SACD Review: Caroline Sageman - ‘Frédéric Chopin: Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor, Op. 35; 4 Scherzos’ Caroline Sageman placed sixth in the International Chopin Piano Competition in 1990 (granted, she was only seventeen at the time). No sign here of Chopin as neurotic, hearts-and-flowers romantic — Sageman seems intent on proving that Chopin’s genius extends to structural and harmonic innovations that almost two centuries later still have the power to shock. For drama and emotion, I remain committed to Horowitz in the Sonata and Ax in the Scherzos. www.highfidelityreview.com /reviews/review.asp?reviewnumber=16907383   (1396 words)

Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 2; Piano Sonata No. 1 | Classical Music Online Brahms wrote his first sonata in 1853, his second concerto almost 30 years later; Richter recorded the concerto in 1960 on his first American tour, the sonata almost 30 years later live at a barn in Germany. The sonata is so formidable technically and musically that it is performed very rarely; the concerto, one of Brahms's greatest mature works, has become a beloved staple of the repertoire. His Brahms interpretation is monumental: classically austere, yet romantically free and ardent, it enters into the youthful, heroic tempestuousness of the sonata and the wistful, dreamy melancholy and profound inwardness of the concerto; the slow movements are pure magic. www.onlineclassical.com /ItemId/B0002DD5U2   (482 words)

Pnina Salzman, Vol. 5 = CHOPIN: Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat Minor, Op. 35 “Funeral March;” Piano Sonata No. 3 in B ... Salzman’s Chopin is supple and muscular, certainly a par with the playing of Martha Argerich, but with a decided French color, with a long, clean line that fills out the cadences with sensuous landings. While I find her Funeral March Sonata (6 June 1979) rather linear in approach, the B Minor Sonata (15 October 1975) has improved sound and enjoys all sorts of subtle, expansive niceties of pedal and rhythm which recall masters like Robert Casadesus. It has a diaphanous patina and an inexorable pulsation which combine for some scintillating Chopin, the Polonaise phrased in a style which Artur Rubinstein once categorized as an “iconoclastic classicism.” The dainty Waltz in G-flat (14 November 1967) simply and elegantly captures Chopin’s romantic, salon mystique after the colossal passions of the Fantasie. www.audaud.com /article.php?ArticleID=841   (526 words)

FREDERIC CHOPIN: 12 Etudes Op. 10, Barcarolle Op. 60, Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-Flat Minor Op. 35 — Nelson Freire, piano ... Brazilian pianist and former child prodigy Nelson Freire has now made two Chopin discs in the 21st century and after this one, it’s safe to imagine more will be on their way. Chopin doesn’t toss all structural sense to the winds as Freire does. Still, the disc is definitely high on the drama meter — capricious and untamed, contradicting any views of Chopin as someone who wrote only gentle lyrical nocturnes and tinkling parlor pieces. www.audaud.com /article.php?ArticleID=543   (350 words)

Last check: 2007-11-01) Piano Sonata No 2 in D minor, Op 14 The Second Piano Sonata is a transitional work of sorts for Prokofiev -- it departs measuredly from the First Piano Sonata (written in 1907and revised in 1909 while the Second was written in 1912), yet still tame compared to the percussivenesss and thick harmonizations of the 'War' Sonatas. Of the entire sonata cycle, this ranks right up with Chiu's brilliant reading of the Eighth Sonata and is not to be missed. www.prokofiev.org /catalog/workall.cfm?WorkID=87   (481 words)
