How was it possible for the world to
have ignored Brigitte Engerer? Born in 1952 and passed in 2012 and
what a legacy! Listen to these flawless performances of the most
beloved works of Chopin. She plays them exactly as we'd all wish to
play them, makes it all sound easy and elegant and graceful and
magical and wonderful. The piano she used was in spectacular prep to
get some of the subtle effects she elicits, especially in the many
famous pianissimo moments. Enjoy!
Chris Breemer has done us the estimable
favour of placing his performances of the complete cycle of Mazurkas
by Frédéric Chopin. A great thank-you goes out to him. We'd
heartily encourage more accomplished pianists to do the same with
other series in the great classical piano literature so that more of
us could get their sense of the sweep of the music through each
composer's particular progress through their creative journeys. The
Mazurkas are among Chopin's most idiomatic compositions, some of them
contain the most strikingly modern of his style elements. Emjoy!
