The name of Wilhelm Kempff is not usually included in the company of the great Chopin pianists of the past and present. Artists such as Rubinstein, Argerich, Moravec, Ohlsson, Cliburn, and others are far more likely to be mentioned as eminent interpreters of the great Polish composer's challenging music. Kempff, who died in 1991 in his ninety-sixth year, was usually associated with the composers of his own Germanic background. When he tackled Chopin he often generated a stir. His way with Chopin is often understated and fairly lean, though in the Sonata there are sufficient fireworks. Still, even here Kempff is relatively restrained and couldn't be further from the more sumptuous and high-calorie styles of interpretation.

Wilhelm Kempff plays Chopin.

As these nine selections recorded in 1958 reveal, Wilhelm Kempff has no feel whatsoever for Chopin's music. With stiff rhythms, awkward phrasing, and muted colors, his Chopin lacks lyricism, drama, and drive, and thus sounds utterly unlike Chopin.

Fryderyk Chopin Composer. Fryderyk Chopin Composer. Kempff was already almost 63 when recording these works some 33 years before he died. With his essentially Germanic musical background and training, he offers a more forthrightly masculine and urgently driven Chopin than the hypersensitive romantic dreamer we so often meet, as the surging opening movement of the Second Sonata at once makes plain
