Title: This isn't so great, but try some other Helfgott selections!
Review: This is certainly not the best representation of David Helfgott's ability. All the hype and emotion surrounding this recording caused David to become very nervous and he did make a lot of mistakes, but I guess that is to be expected considering he didn't play the piano for a full ten years during treatment for his mental condition. He did play this piece wonderfully about thirty years ago and won the Gold Medal at the London music academy, so he was once perfectly able. Anyway, I encourage anyone to give him another chance by trying either his Brilliantissimo or Brave New World CDs. Those are absolutely great!! Don't let this bad sample scare you away; he's still my favorite!!!
