These performances occupy a place near that of Cortot's as the most important versions of the Ballades recorded in the pre-LP era. They consolidate the position of Moiseiwitsch as one of the most important pianists of the first half of the 20th century. The G Minor Ballade, played with unusual rhythmic freedom, is heartbreaking. In the A-flat Ballade, the inner lines are shaped with spontaneity but also with close attention to the music's contrapuntal structure--this is Chopin that comes closer to Bach than usual. Moiseiwitsch lays out the epic narrative sweep of the F Major and F Minor Ballades without neglect of their tragic details. Their ferociously difficult codas, played with miraculous ease, achieve all the urgency the music requires. In the Preludes, he does not attempt to make each seem part of a greater whole. But he captures the caprice of each prelude and conveys a sense of excitement, which is as important to Chopin's music as structure. --Stephen Wigler
