5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Godowsky's 53 studies on Chopin's etudes are considered to be amongst the most taxing piano pieces ever written. On this disc, Ian Hobson does remarkably well in sorting out the myriad of polyphonic lines, juxta-position of complex rhythmic patterns--showing the listener that every note has its place and reason, and nothing is excessive, which it can easily seem in the hands of a lesser pianist. He does an admirable job of keeping a firm hold on the melodic line, but he is not perfect. Athough keeping his cool in his valiant, intriguing, and poetic efforts among these Herculian monstrosities, he can sometimes lack fluency. When this disc was first out, it served as a first release for many of the featured selections, and their performances have since faired quite well among increasing standards. Sound is good, if a bit boxy.
