Description
Garrick Ohlsson, winner of the 1970 Chopin Competition and one of the greatest Chopin specialists of our time, has recorded two Chopin recitals for The Fryderyk Chopin Institute consisting of the same programme but with one played on a modern Steinway piano and the other on period piano. For this recording, Garrick Ohlsson selected genres characteristic of Chopin: a ballade, nocturnes, a scherzo, mazurkas. This is the version of the programme played on a on a 1849 Erard.
This is now The Fryderyk Chopin Institute's fourth such double album. These CDs are of extraordinary knowledge-building value, permitting sensitive listeners to acquaint themselves with the particular beauty of early instruments in confrontation with their modern version. Garrick Ohlsson's newest recordings acquaint us more closely with Chopin in two different ways, in both cases with the greatest of expertise in his music.
