FRYDERYK CHOPIN (1810-1849) : Etudes Opp 10, 25, Ballades Op 23, Nocturnes - S. Richter

‘Chopin’s workswere a trigger. I was totally moved listening to my father playing the Notturno No.5 and I choose music for life [and not painting]‘. As early as 1948 Richter recorded a Polonaise Op.25 no.1, and in 1950 the Ballade No.2 Op.38, fewStudies . . . Avowed enemy of integrals the present programme is a fabulous example of his choices, excluding tha famous Funeral Sonata ,Walzes, First Piano Concerto . . ., leaving these to Gilels‘far better than him’his point of view!
