Chopin - Etudes

Etudes, Opp. 10 & 25
Performer: 
Murray Perahia

Few performers can

effect such an ideal

balance between

technical brilliance,

sensitivity and

intellectual rigour in this repertory

as Murray Perahia. From the very

first arpeggios in Op. 10 No. 1

Perahia astonishes the listener

through his supreme control of

every aspect of the keyboard, also in

the way he illuminates the musical

narrative of each Etude. Erik Levi
