Extractions: First up at the 2004 Singapore International Piano Festival, Idil Biret chose an eclectic program that sandwiched a rich filling of virtuoso works between comparatively thin slices of arrangements and transcriptions. Her considerable skill and sensitivity captured the essence of the diverse offerings, but the evenings most satisfying moments emerged from the instrument-specific compositions. The opening trio of Bach provided Biret with ample opportunity to display her wide variety of attacks and shadings. The

Extractions: Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 are so obscure. But finding 15 well-filled CDs of such great music, in such excellent performances, so well recorded, for such an absurdly low price becomes an irresistible bargain. Even connoisseurs who know the great Chopin recordings of the past may well find these recordings a refreshing alternate view of the music. Leslie Gerber Customer Rating: Chopin only wrote one piece in his entire life that didn't include the piano, so a collection this complete of his piano music is a fascinating look into Chopin's creative life, and as a study in music history, it is worth the time. Nevertheless, people who are searching out definitive performances of more familiar works should probably search elsewhere. Now, I am not a professional music critic, and I would never say that you should trust me over the critics. In fact, much of the acclaim this set receives is merited. Her first and fourth ballades are fine performances, and the scherzi and polonaise in A flat are well executed. That being said, I personally found several other performances to be large disappointments. (For the record, her recording was not universally praised, and some of the favourable reviews, like mine, are somewhat back-handed, but overall the set was a critical success.)
Extractions: Most of Chopin's output is concentrated within small forms, where his genius truly takes wing. His Polish inheritance is reflected in the heroic Polonaises and incredibly varied Mazurkas. The Waltzes, Nocturnes, and Impromptus reveal the influence of Bellini's bel canto melodic filigree along with the air of the Paris salons where Chopin held court. The more complex and personal works, however, embody a strong classical streak. These include the Ballades, the Fantasy, the Polonaise-Fantasie, the Second and Third Sonatas, the Scherzos, the Op. 28 Preludes, and the sublime Berceuse and Barcarolle. If the Etudes represent the New Testament of piano technique, the composer's youthful Rondos, Variations, and sundry occasional pieces reveal that Chopin's pianistic style was pretty much solidified from an early age. Naxos' engineering takes on a metallic hue at loud moments, yet is more consistent than the uneven, tubby sonics hampering much of Ashkenazy's competing cycle on Decca. The latter and Nikita Magaloff's complete Chopin for Philips (both omitting the concerted works) are packaged in space saving cardboard, as opposed to the these individual jewel boxes housed in a thin box. No single pianist can do equal justice to all of these works, yet Biret's stimulating and often masterly artistry is well worth the modest cost of 15 budget CDs for the price of 10.
