Awards Issue 2012
The sound is a mellow amalgam of fortepiano and modern grand. It makes a persuasive case against those who criticise Chopin's orchestration, for here it seems ideally integrated with the score's spare string and woodwind textures. Longquich's is a beautifully considered reading, the faster decay of the piano sound and Philippe Herreweghe's light touch revealing forgotten colours and nuances at every turn.
