Music reviews of John Browning Edition, Vol.I

Music Review: An Historic Performance
Rating: 5 Stars

This is an historic recital played hours after the assassination of President Kennedy on November 22, 1963. I suppose you may need to have been alive when the events of that day took place to understand the feelings of shock felt by people. This feeling is expressed at this concert, which John Browning was persuaded to play after speaking with officials from the College of William and Mary.

John Browning made some opening comments regarding changes to the concert program and his preference for no applause, which appear as track 1. He announces each piece before it is performed and the recital was played with no intermission. The works are a Chorale Prelude of Bach, the Fantasy in F minor and two Mazurkas (the first being incomplete due to problems with the master tape) by Chopin, the Impromptu in A-flat of Franz Schubert and, lastly, the Sonata No. 2 of Chopin. The concert selections are reflective in tone, perhaps best reflected in Chopin's Fantasy in F - somber and turbulent but also assertive.

The performances are well judged and played with the attention to the texture and color of the music. I found the Fantasy and Sonata of Chopin were especially well played with great attention to expressing the music. The sound quality is a bit dry and mono but we are fortunate in having this performance.
