Customer Reviews
Recordings by Dmitri Alexeev have slipped in and out of the catalog, and he remains better known in his native Russia than in the U.S. Even so, he proves himself a fresh, stylish Chopin player here. The waltz form is too strict for Chopin to exhibit his improvisatory side, and the fast-moving rhythm leaves little room for flights of fantasy. What the composer found in the waltz was brilliant vivacity and freedom from any melancholy. This seemed to thrill him, and although no one would want to hear an all-waltz program, Alexeev finds the right spirit to make each one sound individual. He's never as virtuosic as Kissin, but I've never heard these pieces dance with such a smile on their face. A true delight and a great bargain.
