I'm blown away by Dang Thai Son's performance of the Fantaisie - it's the best I've ever heard! His interpretation is deeply insightful and skillfully executed, bringing out the nuances in every part. The middle section, the "Prayer," is particularly stunning - Son's playing is so sensitive and heartfelt that it feels like he's transporting us to another world. He employs a long pedal in the coda, much like Ashkenazi, but Son's execution is even more impressive. I also appreciate how he takes his time with the final passage, which sounds simply perfect. Honestly, "amazing" doesn't even begin to do justice to this extraordinary performance!
