Title: An exciting, thoroughly musical and superbly-recorded performance of major Chopin
Review: I have owned this CD for many years, and considered it the finest version of the Ballades I have heard (I know the pieces from playing them). I returned to it tonight after hearing on the radio Lang Lang turn in a beautiful account of the Chopin 3rd Sonata, especially the Largo (fortunately I didn't know the pianist when I heard it, otherwise I might have been swayed by the pervasive criticism this pianist has received). I was therefore pleased upon relistening to hear that Demidenko captured the same lyrical beauty of the Largo and the other 3 movements as well. I can only agree with the first reviewer of this CD----you will not be disappointed.
