Help on identifying a recording, again

[allchopin]

Comes up a lot doesn't it?

Please go to ftp://64.229.112.249/  -->  Upload, should find it there as Chopin - Scherzo #2 Op. 31 in Bb minor -  I don't know who the recording artist is.

For those unwilling to actually listen to the recording there (~12 mb) it is 8:48 long and a very clean, no-static recording...
Thx,

Ouch!  That was difficult to listen to...  whomever played that I think completely misinterpreted the piece (IMHO).  Staccatos played like fermatas, multiple instances of broken legato, excessive rubato in wierd places, fast sections sounding more like technical exercises without any musical thought, etc etc..  Basically, the performance didn't make any musical sense to me.  I think that's what happens when you focus more on technical exercises than actual MUSIC.

I don't know who's playing on that recording, but please don't use that to give you a true (or even acceptable) interpretation of the piece.  Go listen to Ashkenazy's recording of it.

Yes, its a very quirky recording, but it has a place in my heart (it was the first recording of the piece I ever heard - so you know how that goes  ).  My guess actually would've been Ashkenazy but I guess this isn't it then.

Yeah, definitely not Ashkenazi...
