The ONE Chopin Nocturnes Cycle to Rule Them All!

[Drasko]

Good to see you again, Drasko 

Sarge

Thanks, Sarge.

Can't speak for others, for me fussy is such attention to detail which disrupts overall architecture and especially flow.

As for favorite nocturnes cycle definitely Rubinstein, but one of the earlier sets , let's say '49/50 one.

Rubinstein ('60s) 4

Which is what I meant.

Ciao Milos ! Great to have you around !!

My pick is probably Moravec.

Thanks for the explanations of what "fussy" is supposed to mean. I've stumbled over it here and there, but didn't really understand what it meant applied to classical music/interpretation etc.

There was defintely quite a lot of fuss about the term "fussy" in relation of Arrau's recording. But all in good spirit, I trust.....

Maria Tipo.

I think this is a very good suggestion, it made me relisten to what she does and I feel much more open to the style now than I did in the past. Thanks.

We have strayed from the true path and our collective judgment is imperiled.
