Chopin: Chopin: Ballades & 3 Nocturnes
Leif Ove Andsnes (piano)
[ Sony Classical / CD ]
Release Date: Saturday 1 September 2018
"a pianist of magisterial elegance, power and insight" (New York Times).
Interspersing the Romantic master composer's four Ballades - works immense in the range and power of their expression - with three of his nocturnes, the new album represents the Norwegian pianist's first recording of Chopin's music in more than a decade.
"There were quite a few years where I didn't play much Chopin. He felt complicated to me, and I was not at ease with him. Something has happened to me in the last ten years, I don't know what it is, but now I experience his music as so unbelievably great, so unique a voice, much more than before. My relationship to this composer is much more intimate." - Leif Ove Andsnes
