Title: Throw in the sewer....
Review: When I first heard this CD I just could not stop laughing. Novaes plays the first etude about 1/4th of the speed and technique that Pollini does PLUS hits HUNDREDS of wrong notes, makes up some notes..... all with atrocious pedalling.Great so she can play a few nice slow nocturnes (this is all her technique could LET her play).... and even these she plays not entirely even. If she can't play these pieces evenly than I don't think she would have the technique to play chopsticks either.How she even got recorded is something I don't understand.This is an example of a fourth rate pianist somehow getting lucky (I suppose through networking, connections, legacy... though I could be wrong) and getting recorded.She desperately needs about 100 master classes from Pollini.Don't mistake listening to new pianists to "broadening your horizons." This is not worthy of the rats in the New York subway system.
