Chopin ballade no.3
on: October 06, 2006, 12:42:04 AM
I'd like to play it and maybe do it as a Chopin for the competition as I'm not sure of the Chopin I want to play for the competition ... Do you think that piece is overplayed, played often but it's okay or w/e ?? Cause I didn't hear it played that much ...

Wow ... have you heard Rachmaninoff play it ? AMAZING ... I saw that Rach and Rubinstein played it in EXACTLY the same time (7:19)

Frankly, I find Richter's ballades (assuming you are referring to the prague recordings) to be horribly overrated. Try Friedman, it'll rock your world.
