The Blumental Collection, Volume 2
[br0018]
“This is Chopin playing of the highest order…..these performances positively fizz with character, wit and vitality. Felicja Blumental is at least as convincing as (and perhaps stylistically closest to) Rubinstein’s last set on RCA” MusicWeb.
These recordings of Chopin’s Mazurkas, Noctures and Polonaises show Ms. Blumental further exploring the music of her homeland while demonstrating her love and affinity for the music and dance forms that inspired Chopin.
