Is Claudio Arrau a great pianist ?
Hey again,
A little quick to the point I know but being unfamiliar with this pianist I’m wondering what everyone else thinks of him.
This is really a follow up question to my previous one as regards the Maiden & The Nightingale.
Reason being that I’ve found a recording of it with Arrau performing.
Hence I’m curious as to what he’s like as he seems to receive mixed reviews on Amazon and the like.
Is his great,good,mediocre or at worst bad?
Personal opinions of course but all are most welcome.
Grazie
Yes, he was undoubtedly one of the great pianists of the twentieth century. He was better at some composers work than others. I have his version of the Liszt Transcendental Etudes which are among the most technically challenging pieces in the catalog and this set of recordings shows Arrau’s virtuosity and technical facility. I do not have much of Arrau’s work because I always seem to be able to find someone I like better for the individual work I am looking for.
