| |  | Chopin - Ballades & Nocturnes
In good time for the Chopin anniversary next year Alpha present the four Ballades for piano, composed between 1835 and 1842. Unlike the waltzes or mazurkas, they were almost revolutionary, of epic breath characteristic of the emergence of the Romantic Age. The piano is an exact contemporary of the pieces, miraculously conserved in its original state. | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days.

Restoration Engineer: Ward Marston Rachmaninov’s formidable piano technique was notable for its precision, rhythmic drive, refined legato, crystalline clarity and sensitivity to melodic line. While avoiding sentimentality, he sought and expressed music’s emotional essence. Though fleet fingered, he had, in Arthur Rubinstein’s words, “the secret of the golden, living tone which comes from the heart”, awing listeners with the aristocratic quality of his playing. This is particularly evident in his interpretations of Chopin, Schumann and Liszt, whose great Romantic spirit matched his own. Even today, his recordings remain classics. “Exceptional transfers of justly famous performances Rachmaninov brings this music vividly to life with a unique blend of rubato, unsentimentality, solidity of line and virtuosity.” BBC Music Magazine, June 2009 ***** “Here is a reminder and a remembrance of a matchless idiosyncrasy and mastery… Try this great pianist in Chopin's E flat Nocturne, Op 9 No 2, played in the style of the greatest Russian singers, with a melting cantabile and with a freedom and rubato that can make even the ever-elfin Cherkassky sound sober by comparison.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2009 “His 1929 recording of Carnaval is wonderfully incisive. By subtle, barely perceptible touches of rubato, he makes each figure in Schumann’s gallery of characters so vivid, you can see them.” Sunday Times, 26th April 2009 *** | | | (also available to download from $8.75) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
