Description
This recording of the complete Preludes of Frederick Chopin represents the debut on Telarc Classics of the highly regarded young Venezuelan-American pianist Vanessa Perez. In recent years she has been championed as one of the best young musical talents on the scene by the likes of legendary pianist Claudio Arrau and the great conductor Zubin Mehta.
Vanessa Perez is a product of the same energised musical culture in Venezuela that produced such international stars as conductor Gustavo Dudamel and pianist Gabriela Montero. In 2009 she performed alongside star violinist Joshua Bell in Astor Piazzolla's 'Oblivion' on his "At Home with Friends" album for Sony Classical. She also worked with Jan Vogler on Piazzolla's Le Grand Tango and other pieces for the cellist's 2008 album "Tango", also released by Sony. In 2005 she produced a solo album for VAI that featured Chopin's four Ballades, pieces from Albéniz's Ibería and a work by contemporary composer Suzanne Farrin.
Perez makes her Telarc Classics debut with an all-Chopin collection that includes the 24 Preludes Op. 28, and some other popular pieces, among them the Barcarolle in F sharp major and the Fantasie in F minor.
