Chopin: The Nocturnes - Maria João Pires
Deutsche Grammophon | 16 Sep 1996 | Classical | APE+CUE | 3% Recovery | 2 CDS | 141+165 MB | 50: 29 + 58: 42

Can 21 Nocturnes be a bit too much of a good thing in one go? Not if the composer is Chopin, undisputed king of the genre, and the pianist is Maria Joâo Pires. She's not exactly a prolific recording artist, but the results are invariably special. Not for her the namby-pamby, soft-focus approach that these pieces sometimes provoke. Chopin's approach to the form is by no means straightforwardly lyrical – take No. 4: it starts innocently enough, but in its middle section that mood is abruptly flung aside by a considerably more passionate section. To Pires, each is a song, a narrative urgently to be expounded (just try the famous No. 12 – an entirely new experience in her hands, or the way she becomes the most expressive of sopranos in No. 20). Night casts strange shadows, shedding a different perspective on what seems so familiar by day. No one is more aware of that than Chopin. And no protagonist relishes the very innovative aspect of these pieces better than Pires. – Harriet Smith, Amazon.co.uk Review

Maurizio Pollini - Chopin: Nocturnes
Deutsche Grammophon | April 11, 2006 | Classical | APE+CUE | 3% Recovery | 112+114 MB | 2CDs

“ Pollini's traversal of Chopin's 19 Nocturnes (he leaves out the pair of posthumous ones) is one of his finest recordings in years. His long-lined yet detailed performances are comparable to the very different ones that have long stood at the pinnacle of recorded sets. Not as serene as Artur Rubinstein's, not as philosophical as Claudio Arrau's, nor as warm as Ivan Moravec's, Pollini's interpretations have their own allure. One is the way he shapes the melodies with a natural flow enhanced by his tonal beauty, less lean and streamlined than his usual way with Romantic music. Another is his careful attention to dynamics, as in the subtle gradations of tone found in Op.9 No.1, Op. 15 No 2, and others in the set. Yet another is his detailed articulation that yields trills of feathery lightness and brings out inner details without unduly spotlighting them. His pianissimo playing is radiant, pearly runs are seamlessly strung together, and climaxes like that in Op. 37 No.1 ring out boldly. And this paragon of the objective modern style indulges in discreet rubatos that bring life to the musical line and make you feel the music behind the notes. --Dan Davis ”

Приветствую!
А Поллини завтра (20 июня) дает концерт в Питере.
Если не сложно - перезалейте, пожалуйста первую ссылку первого диска ноктюрнов в исполнении Маурицио - с ней что-то не то.

Ссылкам скоро уже год, протухли. Я вам послал в личку
линк на этот диск из моей коллекции. Как скачаете скажите.

Кстати довольно любопытно сравнить эти два исполнения.
Я не очень большой специалист, но всё-равно разницу
ощущаю, oops могут опять истолковать как мужской
шовинизм
