Synopsis

Amazon.com

"Happily, psychoanalysis existed only retroactively for Chopin, as he would have had to play a lot more concerts to pay for all the sessions he's had posthumously." So observes the humorist Michael Feldman, host of Public Radio International's "Whad 'Ya Know" show and author of the liner notes to this disc. Many of Chopin's most famous works appear here, including the Étude in G-flat, Op. 10, No. 5; the Prelude in E-minor, Op. 28, No. 4; and the Prelude in A-major, Op. 28, No. 7 (Les Sylphides). The performances by assorted pianists including Josef Hofmann, Shura Cherkassky, and Vlado Perlemuter are all fine, but what really makes this album worth having are the hilarious notes. --Gwendolyn Freed
