In this version of Chopin "Nocturnes" we can "see" why Samson Francois was a cult pianist, he rival my prefered version by the master pianist Hans Moravec...
Where the Cech plays "perfection" in a total clarity, the French "spoke" ...
Incredible... I love these two so different versions...
It is easy now to see why Samson Francois is so great in Scriabin no 3 sonata...

This pianist rival Rubinstein in natural and grace and his expressiveness win over the never icy "perfection" of Moravec who is one of the greatest pianist i know ( i own all his albums) Then Samson Francois is a giant indeed... No virtuosity is felt here only pure poetry...
