Spellbinding combination of lucidity and improvisation. This rendition reminds you what a special piece it is. BRAVO!

Jammer van die muziekbladen op de achtergrond, die verpesten het beeld. Verder mooie opname.. prachtige klank van die Erard. Ik heb er zelf ook een, uit plm 1903.

I never really liked Chopin until now. How beautiful. For me, the piano makes all the difference. It makes me believe all those Victorans might just have really been overcome by the music, though we like to portray such a thing as hyperbolic and ludicrous.
