Chopin: Concertos (Ohlsson) (Chopin Piano Concertos Nos. 1&2)

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This concert programme includes both Chopin Concertos with Garrick Ohlsson and the Warsaw Philharmonic under the baton of Antoni Wit. The documentary pays tribute to Chopins art to his highly original writing and show how much of a contribution it made to 20th century music and modern-day piano music. To this end we are combining two approaches: a narrative approach with a biographical account, which focuses on the composers most creative periods. And an analytical approach with first-hand accounts by some of the greatest performers of his works. Among them: Garrick Ohlsson, Bella Davidovich, Evgeny Kissin, Piotr Anderszewski and Yuja Wang. The first approach captures Chopins genius in his time by evoking his life, his work, his existential concerns and his musical influences. The second approach, which forms the mainstay of this documentary, conveys the passion artists have for performing Chopin and their understanding of his music today, which appears to be so easy and is yet so difficult to play. Filmed archives of prestigious pianists, some of whom are no longer with us, complete this portrait of Chopins art.

REVIEW
…there is a tremendous felling of confidence and impregnability about these performances that is highly impressive. No matter what Chopin throws at him, Ohlsson emerges triumphant, and whenever the music turns inward… he captures the mood of poetic fantasy with some inimitable phrasing. --Julian Haylock, International Record Review
