Editorial Reviews

This recital was taped, live, only a year before Fiorentino's untimely death in 1998 at the age of 70. The story of the pianist's interrupted career (due to a plane crash) may be dramatic, but this kind of playing doesn't need any boosts from such irrelevant factors. Fiorentino was a complete Chopin player. His nocturnes are smooth and placid, while the ballade and polonaise are tremendously dramatic. It's astonishing to think that these nearly perfect performances come from a single unedited concert, but the level of musical projection is even more impressive than the pianist's flawless technique. This is one for the ages, and fortunately the recording quality is excellent. --Leslie Gerber
