CD Reviews

Simon perfect again

Erik D. Lofquist | Shoreline, WA | 06/29/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Far too often the Chopin Etudes are used (and butchered in the process) solely for the egotistical display of a pianist's technical prowess. And Simon's playing is, for the record, technically outstanding; is there anything he can't do? But what sets this disc head and shoulders above most is that we almost forget how brilliant Simon's technique is. Instead we are tranported directly in to the mind and psyche of a great man named Chopin, in all of its bottomless sadness and rage, made crushingly real at the hands of Simon.The Waltzes are, well, the Waltzes, but they are played beautifully also.The sound is superb, and at the budget price (or any price) this is a treasure"

Chopin a su mayor nivel

Leopoldo Parra Reynada | México City, D.F. Mexico | 09/07/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"De Abbey Simon se han dicho muchas cosas, pero nadie puede negar que se trata de uno de los pianistas más dotados de los últimos tiempos. Sus interpretaciones son muy llenas de sentimiento, y hacen que la música absorba al escucha de una forma tal que fácilmente puede olvidarse de que existe el mundo allá afuera. En esta colección de 2 discos, Simon nos presenta los Estudios Op. 10 y 25 de Chopin, así como los 19 valses que este compositor produjo a lo largo de su vida. La interpretación resulta fenomenal, y su vesión de los valses resulta superior a cualquier otra que haya escuchado anteriormente; si a esto añadimos un precio increíble por dos CDs (gracias al sello Vox), esta es una compra segura para quien admire la música para piano."

What else can I say??

"the program notes say it all: super-virtuoso. excellent performances of both etudes and waltzes. no technical problems present themselves, etudes and waltzes are both played perfectly. This disc is a great value."
