{"product_id":"chopin-etudes-op-10-op-25","title":"Chopin: Etudes, Op. 10 \u0026 Op. 25","description":"Amazon.com\n\nThrough channeling his intelligent virtuosity toward musical ends, Murray Perahia reveals the distinctive voice of each Chopin Étude, rather than imposing a \"one style fits all\" aesthetic upon the music. His easy mastery of the right-hand double-note challenges of Op. 10 No. 7 and Op. 25 Nos. 6 \u0026amp; 8 and the taxing rotary patterns of the famous \"Black Key\" and \"Winter Wind\" études enable him to clarify their significant left-hand component. Note, too, the \"Octave\" étude's long-lined ebb and flow, or a sharper, more aggressive C-sharp Minor, Op. 10 No. 4, than the one Perahia recorded in the early 1990s. But his unusually brisk take on the E-flat minor (Op. 10 No. 6) trivializes the music's aching harmonic tension, and the two C Minor Études (including the \"Revolutionary\") are a shade inhibited compared with the unbridled bravura of the versions by György Cziffra (Philips) and Juana Zayas (Music \u0026amp; Arts). These quibbles, however, should not prevent piano lovers from experiencing Perahia's well-considered and superbly engineered interpretations of the oft-recorded masterpieces. --Jed Distler\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00006JKG8\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00006JKG8.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
