Title: Excessive pedaling!!!
Product review: The reason I bought this DVD is that I'm currently working on op.111 and wanted to watch Mr. Kovacevich interpret the work.As an informative DVD this one does not qualify at all, extreme close-ups ruin the general flow of video. Sound is very good, listening rather than watching is great.As to the interpretations, they are spontaneous and enjoyable. My greatest problem with his playing is that he uses the pedal so much that the harmonies are no more distinguishable. So many times, excessive pedaling blurs the melody as well.Despite all my complaints I'd recommend it even if you're going to listen to it once. Mr. Kovacevich's take on these pieces are well worth a shot.Cheers!
