Frédéric Chopin : Polonaises

Rafał Blechacz

Classical - Released January 1, 2013 | Deutsche Grammophon (DG)

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions 5 de Diapason - Gramophone Editor's Choice - 4 étoiles Classica
Rafal Blechacz has established an international reputation as a winner of piano competitions, and he has repeatedly demonstrated his strengths in the concerto repertoire. Yet several of his recordings for Deutsche Grammophon show him in a more intimate role as a recitalist, playing solo piano music by such masters of the keyboard as Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Debussy, and Chopin. For this 2013 release, Blechacz has chosen seven of Chopin's published Polonaises, character pieces based on the traditional Polish dance form that became important statements of national pride. Blechacz undoubtedly pours his own feelings about his native country in these pieces, since the performances are unabashedly passionate and stirring, and the amount of rubato he uses suggests that he plays with intense emotional involvement. This is an openly Romantic style of playing Chopin that, for a time, fell out of favor in the late 20th century, but Blechacz seems to play in his own considered manner, free of trends and expectations, and he shapes these polonaises with a highly personal expression that isn't found in any other interpretations. Some might feel that Blechacz exaggerates effects at times, making the music more extraverted or theatrical than is necessary, but the grand style works for him, and his consistency shows that he has weighed his options carefully and found that the Polonaises especially require the bravura treatment.© TiVo

Beethoven: Complete Works for Cello & Piano

François-Frédéric Guy

Chamber Music - Released October 16, 2015 | Evidence (LTR)

Booklet
This is the third instalment in François-Frédéric Guy’s traversal of Beethoven and the first to delve into the chamber music. He is well matched in intellect, musicianship and temperament by cellist Xavier Phillips as they journey from the ridiculous (the Variations on ‘See the Conqu’ring Hero Comes’, in which Guy dispatches the virtuoso piano part with complete aplomb, to delectable effect) to the sublime (the Op 102 Sonatas). The two sets of variations on themes from Mozart’s Magic Flute are a very different proposition from the ‘Conqu’ring Hero’ but just as persuasive, with the Op 66 set given a particularly sparkling reading. Competition is of course thick on the ground, not least from Isserlis and Levin (playing a tremendously characterful McNulty fortepiano), which was an obvious choice for Record of the Month in February 2014. But Phillips and Guy deserve that accolade just as richly and their utterly different sound world is equally riveting.

Frédéric Chopin: Complete Nocturnes

Alain Planès

Classical - Released June 25, 2021 | harmonia mundi

Hi-Res Booklet
His Debussy and Chopin recordings for harmonia mundi already offer ample evidence that Alain Planès is highly adept at selecting a period instrument best suited for the repertoire. For this complete recording of the Chopin Nocturnes, he has chosen a superb 1836 Pleyel – dating from the same decade during which many of these masterpieces saw the light of day. With this instrument’s unique colour palette at his fingertips, our poet of the keyboard deftly recreates the delicate magic of these immortal pages in which the composer, fascinated by the art of bel canto, developed a new approach to making the piano sing. © harmonia mundi

Frédéric Chopin : 24 Études, Op. 10 & Op. 25 (Original Edition)

Murray Perahia

Classical - Released September 17, 2002 | Sony Classical

Is this disc really necessary? With spectacular recordings of Chopin's etudes by Horowitz, Richter, Moravec, and Pollini readily available, is a new recording by Murray Perahia really necessary? Except for fans of the pianist, probably not: the poetic Perahia has nothing new to add to the already profoundly poetic performances of Moravec and Richter, and the virtuoso Perahia cannot compete with the astonishing virtuosity of Horowitz or Pollini. And while fans of the pianist will be gratified by Perahia's beauty of tone and astounded by his jaw-dropping virtuosity, not even they would be able to say that Perahia's very fine recording is in the same league as the sublime Horowitz, Richter, Moravec, or Pollini recordings. For collectors of Murray Perahia, a collector of Chopin's etudes, or a collector of any recent pianists' interpretations of standard repertoire, this disc may be necessary. But the less-avid listener is directed to the recordings of Horowitz, Richter, Moravec, or Pollini.© TiVo

Debussy & Murail: Révolutions

François-Frédéric Guy

Classical - Released February 18, 2022 | La Dolce Volta

Hi-Res Booklet
"To link Debussy with the compositions of Tristan Murail is to place musical evolution in a historical logic of sonic upheavals", says the pianist François-Frédéric Guy. Fascinated by idioms that revolutionise music, today he takes us on a journey between two immensely creative figures. At a distance of more than a century, Claude Debussy and Tristan Murail reveal the same concern for precision in writing and preservation of freedom of thought. The works assembled in this album metamorphose colours and spaces: they offer unprecedented poetic imagination, constantly expanding dreamlike worlds. The impression that remains on the listener's memory is above all one of astonishing and intense emotion. © La Dolce Volta
