| Discussion: Chopin Next week, I'm going to have a Students' Concert where I should play Chopin's Nocturne Op. 72 Nr. 1. I only have heard the playing of Vladimir Azhkenazy on the piano. So he's my only reference. Actually, I rather disagree with his interpretation on the composition. I think he's too "Etude", means he played Nocturne in the (almost) same way he played Etude. Anybody have any suggestion how to play this composition? Or just give me any famous pianists to be referred to. Thanks. >>By Uci Chopin's D Minor Prelude: First time I heard it, I would have sworn that it was Schubert. When I discovered that it was in fact Chopin, my estimation of the master grew even more. Anyone else mistake the piece for Schubert? >>By Concerto Uci, how dare you! Ashkenazy gives a magnificent interpretation. However, I won't disagree with his "Etude-ness." That I appreciate his interpretation of Chopin's Etudes probably accounts for my like of his playing of the Nocturnes. Check out Artur Rubinstein's RCA recording and Barenboim's Deutche Grammaphon recording. Both are highly regarded. Personally, I prefer Rubinstein's. >>By Concerto I like Nocturne Number 2. The one out of The Pianist. >>By Tchock You are not logged in. To access all functionality, you can log in via Flork.
