    It is very difficult to create a 25 microcosms for Chopin's 25 preludes. They are so different, so unique. Éric Heidsieck gives an exceptional performance. He is one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century. He literally gives birth to 25 children with their own DNA. We hadn't heard anything so miraculous since Alfred Cortot, whose disciple he was. Simple coincidence? Eric often told me that the lessons of this great master went beyond the instrumental framework but were lessons with a philosophical dimension..
    CHOPIN vue par Éric Heidsieck : A la fameuse question souvent posée : quelles sont les trois partitions que vous sauveriez en cas de naufrage? Je répondrais : assurément les Préludes de Chopin, Les Sonates de Beethoven bien sûr, et je n'ai jamais pu me résoudre à décider de la troisième œuvre... sans pleurer sur une quatrième ! Mais que dire des Préludes après Liszt, qui écrit : "ce sont des poèmes qui bercent l'âme en songes dorés", après Schumann, qui trouve une image fulgurante, alliant tout à la fois l'air, l'envol, mais aussi la force hautaine, implacable, et cependant la ruine : ''des plumes d'aigle", enfin, après George Sand, qui a ce mot merveilleux : ''en vous charmant l'oreille, ils vous navrent le cœur.’’ Alfred Cortot, lui, sut illustrer chacun de ces immortels lambeaux de musique... Mais doit-on, comme cet interprète unique, suggérer un titre à ses auditeurs ? N'imposons pas une vision picturale qui pourrait gêner certains... et tant mieux pourtant si celle-ci nous a aidés à suivre Chopin dans son rêve enfiévré.
    Les Ballades furent inspirées par la lecture des Poèmes d'Adam Mickiewicz, ardent patriote Polonais, proscrit par les Russes. Mais Chopin retiendra l'esprit du poète plus que l'image de ses œuvres. Cependant si la Première Ballade (1836) se passe aisément de la lecture d'une légende lithuanienne se terminant par un banquet maudit, comment ne pas reconnaître en la Seconde (1838), le lac de glace bordé de fleurs mystérieuses et maléfiques ? Quant à la Troisième (1841), la musique est si près de son modèle littéraire qu'elle pourrait s'intituler "l'Ondine". Un jeune homme a juré fidélité à la jeune fille entrevue. Celle-ci s'éloigne et réapparaît sous la forme charmeuse d'une Ondine. A peine a-t-elle tenté le jeune homme qu'il succombe à l'ensorcellement. Puis, il sera entraîné dans l'abîme aquatique et condamné à poursuivre en gémissant l'ondine qu'il n'atteindra jamais.
    Par contre Chopin semble s'être inspiré davantage du cadre, plus que de l'histoire du 4e Poème. (1842) Les saisons y sont évoquées par un Père anxieux du retour de ses fils. D'abord la mélodie y est comme figée, semblable à une terre immobilisée par le gel, puis progressivement, lors de la variation du Ier thème en sextolets, des courants souterrains nous entraînent à la dérive (accelerando) jusqu'à la chute torrentielle Alors la main gauche prend le rythme calme de la houle et le chant de la main droite est bienfaisant comme la première bouffée d'air marin..

    As with his Faure, Beethoven and even Bach, there's marvelous (seeming) spontaneity here. This is playing for a few friends, perhaps a salon but not a concert hall. To an American like me Heidsieck seems Gallic in the best modern sense: debonair, poetic, self-deprecating. The depths are all here minus grandiloquence. And if you find it works for Chopin, you may be surprised to find how persuasive Heidsieck is in Beethoven as well. His sonata cycle is an overlooked gem. Thanks for posting.

    What superlative examples of a musical narrative through heartfelt and deep understanding. Out of all pianists only Rubinstein and Cortot can equal this.....(in my opinion!). I'm not sure what's the matter with other peoples' audio equipment but mine is relaying amongst others at least two aspects of Heidsieck's playing which make him unsurpassable - rhythmic pacing and dynamic contrast. I hope people can loosen up,become more aware and allow themselves to enjoy these incomparable interpretations. Thank you for this amazing experience. Writing from Poland by the way!

    One really shouldn’t make comparisons, but when I hear Horszowski’s performance of the F sharp or the D flat, Lhévinne’s take on the B flat minor, and Moiseiwitsch’s on the G sharp minor, among others, I am left with a feeling of some disappointment as I listen to Heidsieck.

    I speak of the preludes; some things are interesting, I like singing in slow tempos, but in general, too fast, too loud, a lot of polyphony is lost in medium and fast tempos; strange accents are created; there is never lightness. Stolen too hasty ... But the preludes are one of the most difficult collections to interpret in all of Chopin's work. The quality of the recording, however, is excellent, and this favors the satisfaction. Thanks for uploading it.

Yet I'm afraid he has only made these recordings for Cassiopée, 1972 Réf: 369 183 (25 Préludes) and 1976 Réf: 369 202 (4 Ballades), the two LP were reissued in cassettes as well as in one CD (2005), I'm doubt you get the CD and found it says produced in 2004?

      Re: Jim Ren - Nevertheless, RUclips does allow you to comment, even if nobody cares.
      I think two things are important: the artist's interpretation and the technical quality of the recording. I can't find the pleasure of listening to my beloved music if the recording is crackling and without “space”. I can't believe there aren't many people who think alike.
      Two areas have to be distinguished - recordings recommended for pleasure and recordings of particular artistic value, but only for the purposes of musicology.
      It is difficult to encourage young people to listen to classical music if archaic recordings are recommended. Of course, I am talking not about an artistic vision, but about a recording technique.
      It's good that there are modern recordings for young listeners, because classical music would have a difficult future. It helps in a difficult situation. I hope that the Honorable Editors will notice this circumstance.
      Best wishes.

      Don't understand me wrong ... so many different level's of 'understanding and enjoyment' of the musical testamonies from the composers mind and emotions. Best if the composer is involved in the production of his work but otherwise than that it becomes imprecise from the true message. Nevertheless ... knowledge of the composer's character and special notes to the scores are essential for reproducing and understanding his music ... but how much do we 'really' know 'FOR SURE' ? Hard to say. People become pretentious easily (including myself ofcourse !) .
