Chopin's poleniase number 6 in a flat major op 53

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLoX1ZJeeoQ Most pianists including Horowitz paly this much too fast as if in a hurry to grt it over with. This is a romantic piece and needs to be savored. It's a woman's piece. Played here by Idil Biret, he almost has it as good as a young girl in the class behind me in High School who's playing I will never forget.

The digital sound just does not cut it. Digital sound by definition has holes in it. Between the wholes in the origional recording, those made in the upload to Youtub and the wholes in the digital of my hearing aids, I would rather have the scratch of a vinal or better still a small cafe - coffee house with live piano. --- Like where Chopin hung out. -- with a cup ov Vienna as well.
