Title: Don't overlook this CD
Review: If you are looking to buy a recording of the Preludes, you probably won't be recommended this CD first. But for the price, it is not at all bad. Though I disagree with some of the pianist's interpretations, his technique is flawless and really dazzling in some of the more difficult numbers. The sound sometimes seems murky or blurred, but this is probably desirable in some places. Personally, I think some of the preludes should be played more assertively and with less rubato (for instance, La Danse de Puck from the first book). But I don't at all regret buying this CD, and for 5 bucks, what do you have to lose?
