CD Reviews

Chopin Etudes - The Ideal Peformance

Music of All Types | Denver | 10/23/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"After listening to dozens of recordings of the Etudes, I have come to appreciate Yuki Matsuzwa's perfect application of precision while maintaining elegance. It is unfortunate that this recording hasn't been more popular, as there is none other with an approach just like it. There are things in this recording that you won't hear by other performers.

This 2 CD set contains the original recording by Matsuzawa, released September 2000. The original single CD is unfortunately no longer being produced by the label, but is still avaialable to listen to and purchase used. To hear some of Matsuzawa's Etudes, perform a search for Matsuzawa under classical and select the "Chopin: Etudes Opp. 10 & 25". Try listening to op.25, No.6 in G sharp minor and compare with other performances to hear why this recording is so different."
