Reader Reviews
I am a professional Pianist and Piano-pedagoge trained at the University of Graz and Vienna (Austria). It seems as often reviewers/critics/listeners have the same opinions: I wonder if it isnÂ't in some cases the old story of the Emperors new clothes - nobody dares to have a different opinion, as they do not want to appear stupid. Some of the reviewers here, didnÂ't like Luisadas performances of the Mazurkas. I hold the heretical opinion that Jean-Marc Luisadas performances are much better than Rubinsteins (I possess the three different complete Mazurka recordings of Rubinstein). There are few pianists that like Luisada know how to treat the piano as a truly polyphonic instrument, with absolute control of every line, and at the same time being able to emphasise every harmonic detail - giving every chord its differing and appropriate degree of tension. Furthermore he understands how to display the different moods and characters of the music. All these factors make Luisadas performances extremely colourful. Every Mazurka with Luisada is a unique experience. Ps. Other recordings do occasionally wet the critical appetite: For instance the everywhere highly acclaimed Chopin recordings with Pollini are often musically awful, the Etudes opus 10 nr. 1 and opus 25 nr. 1 are examples. For the complete Etudes, buy Boris BerezovskyÂ's recording for Teldec, it surpasses Pollini by far. Ds.
