FRIEDMAN, Ignaz: Complete Recordings, Vol. 5: English Columbia Recordings (1933-1936)
This fifth and final volume of Friedman’s commercial recordings contains all the published sides, as well as four tracks unpublished on 78rpm, from sessions made in London in 1933 and 1936. Of Friedman’s performance of Chopin’s Nocturne in E flat, Op. 55, No. 2 Harold Schonberg famously wrote that it ‘may well be the most beautiful, singing, perfectly proportioned performance of a Chopin Nocturne ever put on records’. Along with a short talk on Chopin (Volume 4, Naxos 8.110736) Friedman speaking on Paderewski is the only surviving broadcast from the many he made for Australian and New Zealand radio in the 1940s. Volumes 1–4 of this Naxos series are available on 8.110684, 8.110736, 8.110868 and 8.110690.
