Description:
Sharp flashes of sensitivity, precise compositional skills, and astonishing technical brilliance - the emergence of a true genius. (Stanislav Bunin) The 11th International Chopin Competition was held in Warsaw in October 1985. The presence of Stanislav Bunin, a 17-year-old young man from the Soviet Union, was outstanding from the preliminary round, and his performance has become a legend. This is the definitive edition of the competition in one disc, carefully selected from the actual recordings based on the greatness of the performances and the popularity of the music. The free-spirited and shining tone of all the pieces, and the aura of even the smallest pieces that held the listener's attention, convinced everyone that they were the winners. All of the 11 pieces on this disc shine brightly, and it is amazing that their brilliance has not faded at all, even after 38 years. The staff at the time remastered the album with the latest technology, and the sound quality has been surprisingly improved.
