BEETHOVEN: 'Moonlight' Sonata / CHOPIN: Mazurkas (Friedman) (1923-1926)
Ignaz Friedman was an immensely creative pianist in his interpretations. He constantly experimented with rubato, accents, phrasing, pauses and pedal effects. His playing could be extremely elastic or at times quite tight. The less than six hours of his playing captured on electrical recording represent only a fraction of a large performing repertoire. Today pianists study and treasure Friedman’s recorded legacy and none of it has been more discussed and admired than the 30-odd minutes of Chopin’s Mazurkas that he recorded six and a half decades ago. These Mazurka recordings are now legendary in the annals of piano playing.
