Великолепный Chopin, великолепный Sofronitski. Спасибо эа это замечательное прикосновение к их творчеству!

There is an interesting article on Sofronitsky in the latest International Piano magazine. I have a photo of a young Van Cliburn at the home of the above. Must be before VS died. Two greats together. So sad Sofronitsky was locked in the Soviet Union. Beautiful playing of Chopin. Thank you.🙏

Absolutely a divine set of Chopin collected works and of course fabulously performed by special Sofronitsky. Thank you!!!!

Благодарю! Обязательно буду слушать ещё… Прекрасная запись! 17.09.2023.

Stupende esecuzioni, tecnica e poetica a livelli molto elevati.

감사합니다! 이보다 더 좋을 순 없을 것 같아요.. ❤

Quel magnifique upload ! Merci beaucoup Sofronichrist.

Splendida esecuzione

C'est absolument magnifique !

Merci magnifique !

Génial, ce nouveau format !

Dans Schumann (notamment dans les “études symphoniques”) Sofronitzky peut être magique, dans Chopin, il est ce qu’il est, à savoir un formidable pianiste qui a toujours réuni quantité d’admirateurs, (les commentaires en sont la preuve) mais il est loin, très loin de me toucher autant qu’un merveilleux Zecchi, un éblouissant Cortot et beaucoup d’autres encore. A chacun sa sensiblité !

Arrau would be envious... actually not, he revered Sofronitsky and Gilels.

He hated vinyl (and any records)
