Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Highly Recommendable First Ohlsson Versions
Four years after his Warsaw triumph, Garrick Ohlsson recorded his first complete set of Chopin Preludes for EMI. Acknowledging it is not quite up to the level of mastery he attained some 15 years later in his reference complete Chopin survey for Arabesque Recordings, it still stands out as one of the more successful Op 28 Preludes renditions.

Starting off a bit square in the first seven Preludes (the A minor being unusually tedious), things really take wing in the F-sharp minor (in fact ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Music
You don't have to be a musical professional to appreciate this CD. I have some orchestral experience and taste, but I wanted some relaxing piano music to listen to when I want to mellow out or sit down and do homework. This Chopin album is perfect for that. It's great to listen to whether you're doing homework, reading, or trying to take a nap. If you have the ear to appreciate the musical talent of the album you will also not be disappointed. This is classical music we all can enjoy at a decent price.

Ohlsson realizes that the work of Chopin is inherently emotional enough as it is, and needs no help. He just plays in a straighforward workman-like manner. As they say: "Play Mozart like Chopin, and Chopin like Mozart". That's ... Read More
