Title: Invigorating
Review: With all the fuss being made over young, photogenic pianists today, it is good to have this memento of Leif Ove Andsnes from the beginning of his career. There is no doubt in listening to this that, unlike some more recent artists, Andsnes had the goods right from the start. His approach to Chopin is vigorous and full of excitement. Tempos in No. 2 are a little on the fast side, less so in No. 3. Andsnes could not be confused with an older generation of pianists whose interpretations of these works was more overtly Romantic. He makes more sense of the last movement of No. 2 than just about anyone I've heard, and the lyrical elements in the first movement of No. 3 are not slighted in the least. His piano tone, whether from his own doing or the sound engineers', is somewhat brittle at times, emphasizing the impression of youthful vigor and rigor. This would be a welcome addition to anyone's Chopin collection. I also like budget priced recordings by Jerome Rose and Cecile Ousset.
