BaL 30.11.13 - Chopin: 4 Ballades

This looks like it, Karafan

These wonderful performances (all 4 Ballades) appear to be the same those on YouTube:

There is of course no video, but changing the video settings to 'HD' (720p or 1080p) automatically improves the audio bitrate to a respectable 192kbps.

Many thanks for finding this, knodge41

I haven't listened to Perahia in the Ballades for a while but have this evening . I am captivated all over again , I cannot see how anyone can regard these performances as lacking in emotion.

Spot on. All criticism is silenced as far as I am concerned.
