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.
