CD Reviews

Outstanding feel for Chopin's meaning

Allan Gotthelf | Pittsburgh, PA USA | 10/11/1998

(4 out of 5 stars)

"[Note: This review was first posted here in 1998. I now find Tropp's playing of this wonderful piece too dark, but I won't touch the review or the rating I gave then. But I will say that I now think that far and away the best version of Chopin's "Barcarolle" is Moiseiwitsch's unpublished 1939 version, on the wonderful Appian Publications and Recordings CD, "Piano e forte", APR 2000, available on Amazon.com.] If you haven't heard of Tropp (as I hadn't before John Bell Young's rave review in a recent issue American Record Guide), you will be astonished, or at least extraordinarily impressed, by his outstanding ability to grasp Chopin's meaning. Russian-trained, Tropp has technique to burn, but it's all channeled into a depth of understanding that few contemporary pianists can capture. From the first notes of the opening Barcarolle you know you're in the hands of someone who can reach inside of Chopin, and tell you about it, with a sensitive intensity that's a joy to listen to."
