CD Reviews

Claudio Arrau - Wonderful Chopin

Christopher Kosloske | 08/26/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Claudio Arrau is widely considered by many to be one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century. This collection contains many of Chopin works including the rarely performed pieces for Piano and Orchestra such as Rondo a la krakowiak, Fantasy on Polish Airs and Variations on Mozart's La ci darem la mano. Like most of Arrau's works, the Chopin is played very seriously, at slower tempo, but nevertheless is superb. The Preludes, Nocturnes are recommended the most, but this collection is a must have for any Arrau fan. Other Chopin fans my want to consider works performed by Artur Rubinstein, Samson Francois or Maurizio Pollini."
