CD Reviews

Outstanding!

"Unlike most performers who like to rush through the Etudes with the result being a mechanical, even robotic sound, Yuki Matsuzawa plays with passion and brings a joyful delight to these musical gems. She is not in a rush trying to break some speed record to finish each piece. Chopin's Etudes are meant to be enjoyed, to bring forth emotion from the listener. Yuki Matsuzawa does a masterful job in drawing the listener into a delightful musical experience."

Ironic, isn't it?

"I find it amusing to read Mr. Grabowski's "review" of this recording, calling on as many racist stereotypes as he can come up with to put it down. Would he really be able to detect the cold "Lexus" personality behind the readings if submitted blindly to him? The playing is flawless, with a hundred coloristic and dynamic subtleties that would clearly miss the ear of a "hobbyist" like him, who seems to be primarily looking for a way to push an anti-asian agenda in his review. The comments about Perahia and Cortot, 2 extraordinary artists, are ignorant at best; he seems to be more interesting in exercising his attempts at verbal wit rather than providing anything of use to the consumer. (Notice how there isn't a mention of any recording as being worthy- perhaps his own?). Both of the recordings he mentions are held in the highest regards by their professional colleagues, who presumably have more of an insight into what is required by these pieces. Welcome to blogworld, where any fool who can type can put down 500 reviews.

Ironic, for me, is to have seen this very same recording hailed as one of the most remarkable performances when it was deceptively released on the Concert Artists label as the work of the newly exposed fraud of Joyce Hatto. Some of the toughest piano critics hailed it as the finest since Cortot. Perhaps she's more deserving of attention than the acid review here allows."
