Just stumbled across this video of Samson François playing Chopin's Ballade No. 4.

Dinu Lipatti plays the galloping final movement of Chopin's Piano Sonata in B Minor.

Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli plays Chopin's Andante Spianato and Grande Polonaise Brilliante. Stupendous control as ever, particularly in the last two minutes or so.

Saturday Links

Chopin's Prelude In E Minor (Op. 28 No. 4) as played by Aldona Dvarionaite.

"Exit Music (For A Film)" by Radiohead.

 

Monday

Chopin's Barcarolle as performed by Dinu Lipatti, my favourite classical pianist. I'm strongly convinced that 1:25 - 1:50 is some sort of pinnacle of musical beauty.
