I gladly sign my name to all of them, but I must say that sonically and artistically, this is my favourite. I have always striven for a combination of clarity and warmth in my playing, but all too frequently the end result ends up emphasizing one over the other. This time, the balance has been achieved as well as I could possibly imagine.” — Robert Silverman “This is a work of art and talent both from the artist and the technical team of Aaron Hubbard, Ray Kimber, Charles Francis, Kevin Gray and Chad Kassem. The producer Ellen Silverman also played an important role in this magnificent production, I would say that she acted like the conductor who has the perfect feel of the emotions in play … great work ! – The net result is simply … Pure Music … with no artifact ! — Jacques Riendeau, co-owner, Oracle Audio Technologies “You wanted to know if an LP cut directly from a DSD256 Master (Quad DSD, which is 4 times SACD resolution) outputting directly to the cutting lathe by a top mastering engineer would replicate a master tape recorded at 15 IPS? I can now emphatically and authoritatively state that it does. … I heard nothing even remotely digital in the playback of this new LP from Ray Kimber. … The QRP pressing is tuneful to the max and quiet as the proverbial mouse. Chad Kassem has pulled out all the stops to press this perfect LP. Just wait until you hear Ballade No. 4 explode in charm and power.” — Robert H. Levi, Positive-Feedback Online, Oct. 13, 2017 Read the entire review here. Pianist Robert Silverman has, in his five-decade career, been hailed for masterful performances in prestigious halls across the globe. His newest LP, The Last Waltz, comes from Chopin’s final period of 1841-1849. The seven compositions featured here are beyond gorgeous and difficult. Silverman proves he can emotionally and technically master even the Fantaisie in F minor, “an elegant yet mind-blowing exercise in beauty redefined in music,” writes reviewer Robert Levi for Positive-Feedback Online. Other pieces include Nocturne in E major – a fine example of the refinement and contrapuntal richness of Chopin’s later works. The brooding Prelude in C sharp minor, Op. 45, composed in 1841, was dedicated to Princess E. Czernicheff (Elisaweta Tschernyschewa), and employs one of Chopin’s favorite devices: a rolling bass accompaniment sweeping upward until it takes over the next phase of the melody. Silverman musical and technical authority are on full display here. Recognized as one of Canada’s premiere pianists, he demonstrates a polished technique, an extraordinary range of tonal palette, an uncanny ability to sing his way into the heart of a phrase, and probing interpretations of the most complex works in the repertoire. Silverman has performed in concert halls throughout North America, Europe, the Far East and Australia, under the batons of such renowned conductors as Seiji Ozawa, John Eliot Gardiner, Gerard Schwarz, and more. His discography includes more than 30 CDs and a dozen LPs. Acoustic Sounds is proud to be the exclusive distributor for this stellar LP on the IsoMike label. Recording engineers Ray Kimber and Aaron Hubbard achieve truly lifelike presence, recording at DSD256 (Quad DSD – 4x SACD resolution), and editing in that format without any compression or equalization other than application of the RIAA curve. The esteemed Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio handled mastering and cut the lacquers. Plating and pressing on 180-gram super silent vinyl was done by Quality Record Pressings, makers of the world’s finest-sounding LPs! “Suddenly, this felt exhilarating and dangerous! I can’t think of any decision made that compromised the goal. I love the result.” – Ray Kimber Artist Robert Silverman Genre Classical Label IsoMike Buying Options 180g 1LP Format 180g , 1LP Condition New Country United States of America Track Listings Side 1 Fantaisie in F minor, Op. 49 Valse in A flat major, Op. 64/3 Nocturne in E major, Op. 62/2 Side 2 Prelude in C sharp minor, Op. 24 Mazurka in C sharp minor, Op. 63/3 Mazurka in F minor, Op. 68/4 Ballade No. 4 in F minor, Op. 52 Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Classical View Product Quick View Gurdjieff Ensemble / Levon Eskenian Zartir Classical | ECM | 1LP Released 12th March 2024 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gurdjieff Ensemble / Levon Eskenian Zartir £22.00 Genre: Classical Label: ECM SKU: ECM 2788 3844 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th March 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Columbia Symphony Orchestra/ Bruno Walter Beethoven: Symphony No. 6 in F Major, Op. 68 ( Classical | Analogue Productions | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released 16th October 2017 £60.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Columbia Symphony Orchestra/ Bruno Walter Beethoven: Symphony No. 6 in F Major, Op. 68 ( £60.00 Genre: Classical Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AAPC077-45 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 16th October 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joep Beving Post Classical | Deutsche Grammophon | 10", Single Released 5th May 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joep Beving Post £22.00 Genre: Classical Label: Deutsche Grammophon SKU: 4863077 Formats: 10", Single Released Date: 5th May 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Berliner Philharmoniker, Herbert Von Karajan Mahler: Symphony No. 5 – Original Source Series Classical | Decca (UMO) / Classics / Deutsche Grammophon | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 16th February 2024 £56.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Berliner Philharmoniker, Herbert Von Karajan Mahler: Symphony No. 5 – Original Source Series £56.00 Genre: Classical Label: Decca (UMO) / Classics / Deutsche Grammophon SKU: 4865604 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 16th February 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Berliner Philharmoniker / Simon Rattle Brahms: The Symphonies Classical | Warner Classics | 4LP Released 21st October 2022 £60.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Berliner Philharmoniker / Simon Rattle Brahms: The Symphonies £60.00 Genre: Classical Label: Warner Classics SKU: 0190296266966 Formats: 4LP Released Date: 21st October 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ton Koopman Bach: Christmas Oratorio Classical | Erato | 3LP Released 20th October 2023 £48.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ton Koopman Bach: Christmas Oratorio £48.00 Genre: Classical Label: Erato SKU: 5054197659362 Formats: 3LP Released Date: 20th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Claude Debussy Debussy – Piano Works Classical | Decca Music Group Ltd.
