Customer Reviews

hm

To the other reviewer, I hope that was a sarcastic comment. Chopin never composed any pieces for violin, so you are right in that he "should have stuck to composing for piano". The whole point of this album is to arrange his solo piano work onto two instruments. Granted, it does not sound nearly as good, but that is not how Chopin meant it to be played. How backwards are you to think the Cello Sonata was not actually composed for a cello? Of course it was. Once again, it is an album ARRANGED for violin. Overall, it's a nice album since I don't know of many other recordings of these kinds of arrangements.

This album goes to show

that Chopin should have stuck to writting solo piano music. His attempts at other forms are less thatn thrilling. One could write these off as salon music but his failed attempt at composing a real cello sonata proves that he thought that he could write serious music outside of the solo piano domain. Adapting the violin for the first work was not too hard to do. The playing is all well and good but it's kid's play compared to other works of the era. This gal will will have to record some more substantial works before a true assesment of her talents can me made. It's nice for what it's worth and it's a nice party trick to thow in once in a while to keep people guessing. If you're trying to build your collection you could do well to pass on by this for the time being. -Bz
