"Being a Chopin aficionado and Goode deovtee, I had high expectations for Goode's interpretation of Chopin. Let me first say, Goode is highly underrated -- his playing is top notch. If you get the chance, buy Goode's Bach Partitas. I just recently purchased them and each partita was magnificent. His interpretations are the best I've heard. However, I was disappointed by this disc. His playing was rigid and mechanical, and at times, rushed. Chopin's music is filled with so much emotion, it requires a pianist's poetic interpretation to really bring out that emotion. After listening to this disc, however, I was left feeling cold. The romanticism in those pieces were stripped away. On the other hand, Arrau's interpretations explore those emotions through contemplative and graceful playing. Although slightly pricier, they are the better buy. If instead, you're looking for something cheaper, Idil Biret, has a 15-disc set of all of Chopin's pieces at a great price."
