It sounds quite good. So go out and buy it to support the artist.
EDICT:
MAY NONE UPLOAD DIZ ZHIZZAT and MAY 
HAVE MERCY ON ANY HAPLESS SOUL WHO DOES.
so not interested
I’m gonna see him play those in a few months will update on it
ive always liked what ive heard of his
pure polski stylee
Yeah, why would I support him? He’s not really very good
Well he’s certainly not BAD. He’s one of the finer performer’s of Chopin today, imo.
oh cool ANOTHER set of chopin preludes
groundbreaking
we dont need any more chopin recs. just why would anyone provide ANOTHER set?
That’s the question that Hamelin should have asked himself before performing one of the most embarassing accounts of the Chopin B minor for a DVD release…but seriously, I believe that Chopin is actually quite an important composer whose works deserve to be interpreted by a new generation of pianists. 
You mean over-interpreted? These new guys have about as much subtlety as a brick.
personally, I find Blechacz to be rather dull, I start nodding off after a couple of mins. 
To be fair, there are lots of recent Chopin recs that I like, but this guy just really doesn’t have it.
Check out Goerner’s Chopin CD - it’s miles ahead of anything this guy has done.
Gimme a break. You derided me a few months ago for almost always preferring Rachmaninoff, Moiseiwitsch, Friedman, Barere etc. to more recent pianists.
And nowhere did I suggest that Blechacz’s recording is in anyway close to the best versions (i.e., Moiseiwitsch)…I just said he was an artist worthy of our support.
Yeesh. Complain about popular disinterest in this type of music, then mock the idea of supporting one of the better pianists. Hypocrisy.
And yeah, Goerner is one of the outstanding ones too. But this topic isn’t about Goerner. 
Well there’s our problem… ‘One of the better pianists’
I don’t see it that way.
That’s my point. Or my hypocrisy or whatever you want to call it. Go ahead and use all the big words you want, that doesn’t change my opinion of this ‘competition’ pianist who has never ever gone outside of his comfort zone and probably never will.
BORING and not worth my time. But go ahead and enjoy the party, I don’t care what you like or don’t like.
listening to rafal play is lyk watching sumone take a dump while taking the most care in not dyrtying their lil butthole…
Really? In general I find that the latest generation of players don’t really have substantial ideas at all. I get the impression that most “musical” gestures or interpretive ideas are either terribly naive, learned from hundreds of other middle-of-the-road performances (Kobrin etc), or sound like their teacher told them to do it so they do it like a good little student (Kissin)
Yeah, I’m more thinking of guys like Trcpeski, LL, Pogo etc.
Blechacz is on the other end of the spectrum - he’s just a big dull dud.
I actually zaw him live n martcaped da preludez
but tiz zo borin I won’t even bothah ul
i lyk him
i guess personally i would prefer crazy ideas to no ideas. that’s one of the reasons i still listen to pogo… although sometimes it’s really just like a sick car crash that you drive by and you can’t help looking
