4 Impromptus

Frédéric Chopin

Enregistrements

Premier Choix

Claudio Arrau

1980

Gil's top recommendation. Arrau brings 'that romantic sensibility,' playing with a 'very beautiful legato, beautiful tone, beautifully smooth and very powerful.' Very good sound.

Également Recommandés

Arthur Rubinstein

1964

A 'little bit more elegant and graceful' interpretation. The 'Fantasy Impromptu' is 'impeccable' in 'the way he varies the moods between the dramatic and the more softer sections.'

Alfred Cortot

early 1930s

Gil says these works were 'tailor-made for his sense of spontaneity and freedom and imagination.' Features a 'really dramatic fantasy impromptu' and 'fairly clear recording' for its time.
