Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Ignaz Friedman's Chopin Mazurkas are among the greatest historic Chopin recordings. He gets the rhythms exactly right, and anyone who hears his playing will understand why some of Chopin's listeners couldn't tell whether he was playing them in 3/4 or 4/4 time. That ambiguity was just right. The other Chopin here, a generous selection, is less consistently wonderful, and three tracks from acoustical originals are very limited in sound. But Friedman's best Chopin, which we hear most of the time, ranks with the greatest on recordings. This is a very valuable CD, of interest to anyone who wants to hear what the best of early Chopin recordings had to offer. --Leslie Gerber
