Description
This album marks the premiere recording on a copy of Fryderyk Chopin's Warsaw piano: a Buchholtz from ca. 1825. The album was released for the festive presentation of the instrument in 2018 and is at the same time the first recording on a period instrument by young Polish pianist Krzysztof Ksiazek.
This is a unique release in the critically-acclaimed series The Real Chopin, providing the opportunity to encounter the exceptionally beautiful sound of the instrument as the composing and concertising composer probably heard it.
Krzysztof Ksiazek has won many prizes in both Polish and international competitions, including the Grand Prix and the special prize for the best performance of works by Chopin in the 10th Ludwik StefaÆ’ski and Halina Czerny-StefaÆ’ska Piano Competition in 2008, the Grand Prix and a special prize in the Lviv International Chopin Competition (2010), Second Prize and the special prize for the best performance of a work by Ignacy Jan Paderewski in the American Paderewski Piano Competition in Los Angeles (2013). He reached the third round in the 17th International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw, winning two hors concours prizes.
