Arrau in Concert I · Chopin 24 Preludes, Op. 28 · Schumann Symphonic Etudes, Op. 13 [Live] [Re-up]

Date: 1 Dec 2009 05:53:08

From the notes: Claudio Arrau [1903-1991] has perhaps the widest performing repertoire of any pianist in history, but four composers were central to it: Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin and Schumann. These composers he played in concerts and recordings all his life, reaching ever greater depths in interpretation as the years went by."… "Arrau's interpretations of Schumann and Chopin stress the darker, more complex and dramatic sides of the composers' personalities."

Claudio Arrau, piano

Both the recordings on this CD are live performances. His Chopin Op. 28 here, is amongst one of the most creative performances I have heard in the many interpretations of this work. I'd like to mention that in the notes are reproduced parts of Claudio Arrau's discussions on the performance of both these works as held with Joseph Horowitz. These can be found in the latter's book "Arrau on Music and Performance", available from Dover Books. Also note that Schumann's 5 posthumous etudes in this live performance are placed in a different order than on his 1970 Philips recording. The order of both is reproduced in the notes.

Enjoy!
