Hi Newbee,
It is nice that you join the forum.
As I am impotent in deciphering Chopins notes so I cant comment on Ivan Moravec. The only Chopin recording I have is Adam Harasiewiczs performance. Sadly this winner of the 1955 International Chopin Piano Competition is now long forgotten and overshadowed by the 2nd place winner (Vladimir Ashkenazy). Even the 3rd place winner (Fou Tsong) has his followers in Asia nowadays.
Speaking of Chopin, do we have any update on Pollini? Would this multi-talented pianist ever finish the recording of Bachs well-tempered clavier book II or any other new recording(s)?
Happ Listening.
Otto
