Murray Perahia

[lisztisforkids]

Murry Perhia is really GOOD. Almost but not quiet Godlike. Agree?? Disagree???

[thalberg]

Agree.  But I never thought that from listening to his recordings.  It wasn't until I heard him in person that I realized what his true ability level was.    One reviewer said that he inhabits the works he plays like pure light.

 :Dyes he is very good! I recently bought his 24 Chopin Etudes.... This guy has technique and musical skill

[chopiabin]

Btw, it's Perahia, not Perhia

Yes, he's amazing. His Chopin sonatas are absolutely amazing - his second sonata is the best I've ever heard. His Chopin etudes are also phenomenal. He is also known for his Mozart, among other things.

Perahia is among my truly favorite pianists.

His schumann is THE BEST I HAVE EVER HEARD better than richter,argerich, simply anyone.

his kreisleriana is so moving,perfect and technically & musically mastered. probably one of the best solo piano records ever made and i don't exarggerate.. listen to perahia's kreisleriana!!!!!!

his recording of schumann's piano concerto is also my favorite, his cadenza is STUNNING!

I have his Chopin Etudes to. Thet are really incredible 

[pianistimo]

joyce yang struck me, during the van cliburn, as an artist too!  there are some people who just 'become the music.'  it's cool to watch.  the feelings just flow out of them and doesn't seem artificial.

[quantum]

Completely agree!  One of my top favourite pianists.  His Bach is amazing too.  I have the English suites, you can tell so much thought went into the music. 

[spirithorn]

Perahia is a fabulous pianist.  If you ever have the chance to hear him in recital, don't miss it!

[practicingnow]

He is very very good...
He also seems to be able to play convincingly in whatever style and period he is playing - Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Modern - very rare even among great pianists...

One of the teachers at my uni said he won the Leeds competition becuase he gave the set piece (by Brittem, a nocturne i think) poetry! as opposed to all the harshness of the others.
I'm not a huge fan of his etudes, but his Schumann is great and Mozart concertos!

It's actually Murray Perahia instead of Murry Perhia. I think he's a great pianist, though!

[BoliverAllmon]

I think he is great. I like his etudes better than anyone and he had an injury in his hand which made the etudes more difficult.

[chopiabin]

Yeah, his etudes are amazing - there's such an amazing balance between the hands and his rhythmic sense feels so solid. His op.10#1 is so amazing!!

What do you guys think of his Chopin sonatas? His third is the best IMO.   

[hodi]

can anyone send to me his op10/1  please?
it's too expensive to buy!! $22 it costs where i live! it's a shame! for 1 (Great) cd!

[chopiabin]

You can probably at least listen to samples on amazon.com.
