Title: Over-rated pianist
Product review: Lazar Berman is a hugely over-rated pianist in my opinion - at first listening his playing seems brilliant and grand, but after repeated listening you realise that's all there is. He is not in the same class as Richter, Gilels or Sofronitsky in terms of artistic maturity and technical prowess. If you can't believe, compare this performance with Sofronitsky's towering account of Scriabin's Fantasie -Chopin: Polonaises No6; Waltz in Df Op64/1, B164/1. Or listen to Brilliant Classics box set of Lazar Berman. You will find out how blunt and artistically poor most of performances are -Lazar Berman Edition (Box Set).
