There's nothing like Ashkenazy and Zimerman with Chopin... They're so good!! It's just that Askenazy recorded about everything by chopin! So I have more recordings of his.
ive been looking to get some more chopin cd's of music i dont have by him. who do you think plays his music the best?
Argerich, she's terrible.
Dong Thai Soon. No contest. Better than Zimmerman. Period.
You mean you don't like her performances. To call her terrible (and give no reasons) discredits anything you say in this forum.
When I say she's terrible, it's understood that "I think her performances are terrible", which I do. This is an argument-inducing forum after all. If everyone says "I think she's terrible", you're not going to tell him or her that he or she is wrong, seeing as how it is an openly stated opinion. Argerich is a terrible Chopin interpreter.
Yundi Li is the best interpreter of Chopin, in my opinionBut for the Nocturnes, I'd go with Idil Biret
