Info for Chopin: 10 Marzurkas (Remastered)

Michelangeli’s recital disc is also heavy on mazurkas, offering ten of them along with a single prelude, the G minor Ballade, and the B flat minor Scherzo. The playing is striking, marked by extraordinary refinement of tone and articulation. In the scherzo, Michelangeli achieves a transcendent realization, full of anticipation, beautiful and intense at same time – one of the great accounts of the piece on record. Originally released in 1972, the recording has fairly low impact sonics, but a nice pickup with plenty of hall ambience." (Ted Libbey, author of The NPR Guide)
