Info for Chopin



Florian Krumpöck, the Austrian pianist, conductor and festival director, has chosen Frédéric Chopin's famous Piano Ballads Nos. 1-4 and his 2nd Piano Sonata for his first recording. And as a result, Krumpöck creates a very unique sound world that shows how strongly Chopin's melodies are influenced by Italian opera, especially bel canto. Nevertheless, the accompanying voices are never neglected: they comment on, counteract and support the "vocal lines". Two different grand pianos were deliberately used: a full, overtone-rich Bösendorfer Imperial for the Prélude and the Ballades, a clearer, more "modern" Bösendorfer 280 for the 2nd Piano Sonata.
