CD Reviews

Michele Boegner and Pleyel---A Desert Island Recording!

thomas layman | Iowa City, Iowa | 01/13/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Calliope has done everyone who loves the beautiful Chopin Nocturnes a genuine favor in recording Ms.Boegner with the Pleyel piano! First, the performances are flawless, gracious,and thoughtfully played. Obviously this performer knows the heart of Chopin; to me he certainly wears his heart on his sleeve with the gorgeous nocturnes. I can think of no one that plays these better than Boegner. Second, the mechanism and soundboard of the Pleyel piano is far less resonant than the modern Steinway and Boesendorfer pianos. As a result, the line of the music can flow out more clearly and inner voices are heard far better. If you have never heard this music with this vintage piano, you certainly owe it to yourself to hear it! This is a MustBuy! This must not be missed! Recommended Strongly!"

The definitive Chopin Nocturnes. A must for all piano lovers

"This recording features a 1836 Pleyel concert grand, on which Chopin himself might have played. This 2-disc set includes the 21 Nocturnes. Every one of them is performed with style and sensitivity, and the sound of the piano is so special and fits the music perfectly! This is my favorite Chopin recording! I'll recommend it to everyone who loves the piano.There is another very interesting Chopin recording that is made on a Pleyel. The CD title is "Genuine Chopin," and the pianist is Janusz Olejniczak. It's on Opus 111 label."

Pure Chopin.

"The sound of the Pleyel piano really gives new life to this music. Everything sounds so right, so refreshing, and absolutely beautiful. I believe this sound is exactly what Chopin had in mind."
