Deryk Barker asked:
>Brendel? Has he recorded any Chopin?
and reported Brendel as saying:
>you have to make a lifetime's studying of him, which is why he never plays
>Chopin . . .
On Vanguard lp C-10058, now on Vanguard Classics CD OVC-4023, Brendel
evidently had endured lifetime study enough to record the Andante Spianato
& Grande Polonaise, the Polonaise Fantaisie, and three other Polonaises.
