Chopin: Études
Jan Lisiecki
The incredible Jan Lisiecki performs both cycles of Chopin’s virtuosic Études. This is the second Deutsche Grammophon release from the young Canadian pianist, and his first-ever studio recital album.
Chopin’s Études are among the most challenging and evocative pieces of all the works in the piano repertoire. Jan Lisiecki has just finished recording the Études in the famous Koerner Hall of the Music Conservatory in Toronto. The Royal Conservatory has been involved in the training of many notable artists such as the pianists Glenn Gould and Oscar Peterson
Review
Kate Rockstrom
Sometimes I wish the Chopin Etudes had more evocative names. Those in the know, know that these works are exciting, emotional and much more fun than I give them credit for. These Etudes are technically challenging and musically, can sometimes be a bit of a train wreck if the technique is not under control. It is obvious from the start that Lisiecki has no problem with the technical side of things and brings out a performance worthy of any concert hall in the world. This is his second album, following on from his Mozart Piano Concerto’s No 20 & 21, it is obvious he is sticking to the major works and those he knows and loves. A highly enjoyable recording to immerse yourself in.
