Chopin: Return to Warsaw

With 'Chopin: Return to Warsaw' Martin Stadtfeld explores Frédéric Chopin's music as an expression of longing, memory, and return. At the centre of the album stands the imagined 'Third Piano Concerto', reconstructed from the 'Allegro de Concerto' and the 'Bolero, Op. 19', works Chopin once intended to perform upon his return to a free Warsaw - a return that never happened. Together with an idiomatic orchestration by Timo Jouko Herrmann, Stadtfeld brings this unrealised vision to life. The recording reveals Chopin as a composer caught between exile and hope, whose music carries the idea of home even in absence. Around this concert, Martin Stadtfeld composes meditations on Chopin's most popular works. New variations that take a fresh and unique look at the famous composer's oeuvre.
