Composer/Series: Last Works of Fryderyk Chopin
Description
The new album in "The Real Chopin" series is a unique recital of Dmitry Ablogin, a finalist of the 1st Chopin Competition on Period Instruments, on a Pleyel piano which once belonged to Chopin. Gifted with extraordinary sensibility, the pianist was the first to sit at the newly restored piano from the collection of the Chopin Institute.
The 1848 Pleyel was the last instrument at which Chopin created musical masterpieces in his Parisian apartment. Its sound, highlighted by Ablogin's attention to musical nuances, adds a unique flavour to Chopin's mazurkas, waltzes, nocturnes, preludes, the Ballade in F minor, and the Polonaise-Fantasy in A major.
In the end, the pieces constitute a well-designed, moving recital of the works composed almost entirely in the last decade of the composer's life.
