Someone plays Chopin "right"!.......2005-06-12
I had the fortune of hearing a radio broadcast recently on rather obscure pianists playing famous works which included Brailowsky's interpretation of Nocturnes No's 2, Op. 9 and 2, Op. 15. I've been hooked since then. There is something so beautiful in the subtleties of phrasing in Brailowsky's playing which, to me, puts him above such contemporaries as Rubenstein and Horowitz and the later Ashkenazy. There's no getting ahead of himself, no stumbling--every single note is there and tastefully articulated. It just doesn't get much better than this.
Brailowsky Plays Chopin - BMG 2 Disc set.......2003-10-05
Alexander Brailowsky (1896-1976) first caught my attention in 1952. An avid collector, the three artists whose recordings (LP's) I mostly searched for were Artur Rubinstein (1887-1982), Vladimir Horowitz (1903-1989) and Claudio Arrau (1903-1989). The "rivalry" was great and every release by these artists was fascinating indeed. In the spring of 1958, I noticed in the display window of a music store an item of great interest - a 2 LP set by Alexander Brailowsky playing the 19 Chopin Nocturnes. I entered the store ready to purchase this set, when to my dismay I learned that they had already been sold. The store manager offered to order them for me and I accepted. Having waited for a few months, I was notified by the store that the set was no longer available.
It was not until 1996 that I was able to purchase 8 of the Nocturnes from this recording (the other 11 have not yet been released on CD).
Listening to these Nocturnes and other performances of Chopin on these 2 CD's countless times, I have come to the conclusion that the performances of the Sonatas, Op. 35 and Op. 58, 10 Nocturnes and 8 Waltzes rival the best of Rubinstein, Arrau and Horowitz with sheer musicianship, technical display and above all tremendous involvement and presence. The sound is excellent and also the best among the younger generation for pianists that followed. A great buy for any music lover as well as the serious collector.

Great recordings in the Leschetizky tradition.......2003-11-05
Great recordings in the Leschetizky tradition
By Peter Dietrich, President, Chopin Society of New England
This compilation is selected by "Pearl" (Pavilion Records, Ltd.) from 2 volumes of Berlin recordings - Polydor (1928-1934) issued by Danacord 336-337 vol. 1 Chopin and Danacord 338-339 vol. 2 Liszt and encores by Alexander Brailowsky. The 13 selections are taken from the total of 47 works comprising the 4 CD's.
As Alan Vicat states in his excellent notes for this CD, "When one listens dispassionately to the works heard here, one is instantly impressed by their sheer bravura and precision, and yes, glorious sound. In the Chopin G minor Ballade, one is impressed by the rhythmic verve, and absence of distortion in the phrasing to cover up any technical limitations. The Weber is a superb performance; despite its great pace and drive it is always completely always under control until when at the very end there is the slightest blemish - of no consequence. In the Liszt Rhapsody the "gypsy" element is revealed in a way that is often missing in other pianists performances. The Tannhauser is a virtuoso version in the true sense, which to the writer is superior to the vaunted Moiseiwitsch recording, good as this is".
Just as good is the performance of Chopin's Barcorolle in F# minor, Op. 60, and Fantasie-Impromptu, Op. 66 and two Etudes Op. 25, No. 3 and Op. 10, No. 4. The two Scriabin Preludes, first in C# minor and second in D# minor are very much Vladimir Horovitz territory and Brailowsky in his performances proves to be equal to the task. The remaining works on this CD of Scarlatti, Schubert (arranged for piano by Karol Tausig (1841-1871), the most talented of many gifted Franz Liszt (1811-1886) pupils), Mendelsshon, Shumann and Debussy testify once again to the great versatility of Alexander Brailowsky's genius, who was capable of doing justice to all musical styles.
In sum: a great recording of the 20th century and many of them are definitive performances. If you decide to purchase this CD you will never regret it and love it more and more after each listening experience.
