Kabalevsky: PC No.1

[Todd]

Steven Osborne is nothing if not reliable.  This recording, like every other recording I've heard from him, is museum grade.  Aided by pristinely fine recorded sound, Osborne plays every note perfectly.  If he needs to play quietly, he plays quietly - but not too quietly.  Sometimes the sheen of perfection saps some heat and overt display from the playing, but there are other versions for that.  This is up there with Angelich and Chochieva for complete sets for me.  I should probably get my hands on Lugansky's new, second recording before too long.

We certainly all have our individual blind spots with some works of the established canon. 

I do not deny it, in my own case.

Chopin's Etudes again, but with a different recording (thanks very much to @Florestan  ):

Fryderyk Chopin
Etudes Op.10 & 25

Pianist: Maurizio Pollini



Wow, I don't know why Pollini didn't give the permission to publish this recording before, it sounds so terribily good!
