Customer Chopin: Preludes, Etc / Barenboim Reviews 




Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Barenboim at his Best
Recorded when Barenboim was at his most powerful as a performer and displaying his insight into the melancholy and passion that was Chopin. This is arguably the best recording of the Chopin Preludes from the second half of the 20th century. Barenboim's delicacy of touch and mastery of dynamics presents these beautiful pieces as Chopin intended. Although other great pianists of the 20th century have recorded the preludes with equal technical mastery, none can equal Barenboim for his clarity and insightful presentation, nor his tenderness. A recording for pianists and lovers of Chopin everywhere.

Chopin: Preludes, Etc / Barenboim
CD $9.65  Audio Samples
Personnel includes: Steve Kuhn (piano); Gary McFarland (arranger, conductor) Ron Carter (bass); Marty Morell (drums).
Recorded in New York, New York on October 14 & November 1, 1966. Originally released on Impulse (9136).
Composer and arranger Gary McFarland was well-known in the 1960s for his film-scoring abilities and his charting skills with mid-sized bands. McFarland was also, however, a jazz fan, and particularly one of scalar pianist Steve Kuhn. This project features Kuhn in the center of a program made up entirely of McFarland compositions, all but two of which were written specifically for the album. Recorded in 1966, it is an anomaly in the Impulse catalog of the time in that it did not pursue the free jazz realms with the vengeance that most of the label's other acts did during that year. It is also significant that it caught the attention of a young Manfred Eicher, who later signed Kuhn to his ECM label based on the strengths of this recording. Like Keith Jarrett, ...
