Khatia Buniatishvili (pf); Orchestre de Paris, Paavo Jarvi*
Sony 88691971292
Listeners familiar with Buniatishvili's art will recognise a formidable technique placed wholeheartedly at the service of an inspired, heat-of-the-moment imagination. Her love for Chopin is never in doubt: these are fiery readings that are never dull, even if her entirely personal response to these pieces occasionally leads to interpretative excesses.
Many will feel artistry at this level deserves better than the sexed-up cover and booklet images.
