Title: SOFRONITZKI AND CHOPIN
Review: Sofronitzky belonged to a Russian tradition that held well apart from the outer world and it kept the Romantic tradition practically intact respect the Western tradition, but to my mind there has been a distorted idea in the Russian tradition to play Chopin following the same pattern than Scriabin, the result has not been successful; as a matter of fact we may realize how the great Russian masters had to wait and even mature his initial approaches toward Chopin, and perhaps with the exceptions of Horowitz (in his case, and being an emigrant since his early youth, the process of re adaptation was easier, because he was aware watching Rubinstein, Michelñangeli or Cortot , for instance) Ashkenazy and Gavrilov and Vladimir Felstman, have been capable to triumph with the reading of the Polish composerI recommend it just by historical reasons.
