Nakamatsu, Jon (Pianist) & Chopin, Frederic (Composer) : Jon Nakamatsu: Chopin

Harmonia Mundi, New York City, NY, 2001

First Edition / First Printing. Fine in No Dust Jacket, As Issued. 1 pages. Rare Jon Nakamatsu collectible item. A pristine copy of the Harmonia Mundi Compact Disc (CD) landmark recording of Chopin piano pieces, signed by Jon Nakamatsu. The first release of the CD. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent releases. The first release is now scarce. Presents Jon Nakamatsu's "Chopin". Mesmerizing. "Captures the dreamy abandon of an intimate visit. Sensitive lyricism that results in sumptuous readings without the slightest trace of sentimentality or self-consciousness. Each timeless, classic melody has been recast to lend itself not only to the breadth and depth of the piano in general, but to the unique, glistening nuance of this pianist in particular. Heavenly" (M. Baker). An absolute "must-have" title for Jon Nakamatsu collectors. This copy of the Compact Disc (CD) of "Chopin" is very boldly and beautifully signed and inscribed in blue pen-marker on the disc by the artist: "For Avery, Best regards and thanks! Jon Nakamatsu". It is signed directly on the disc itself, as was his preference, not on a tipped-in page. The recipient, who is named, is known personally to the artist. This title is a CD classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of this historic recording available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Nakamatsu rarely does public signings, making signed materials quite scarce. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the 10th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. One of the greatest pianists of our time. A fine copy.
