BALLADE IN G MIN

Garrick Ohlsson- winner of the 1970 Chopin Competition, one of the greatest Chopin specialists of our time, honored during the 2018 August Chopin and His Europe festival with the Gloria Arts Gold Medal- has recorded two Chopin recitals for The Fryderyk Chopin Institute: one on modern piano, the other on period piano. The same program in two different sound versions. This is now The Fryderyk Chopin Institute’s fourth such double album; these albums are of extraordinary knowledge-building value, permitting sensitive listeners to acquaint themselves with the particular beauty of early instruments in confrontation with their modern version. Garrick Ohlsson’s newest recordings acquaint us more closely with Chopin in two different ways, in both cases with the greatest of expertise in his music. For this recording, Garrick Ohlsson selected genres characteristic of Chopin: a ballade, nocturnes, a scherzo, mazurkas. The artist played this recital on a Steinway piano.

For the first time, pieces with orchestra from Fryderyk Chopin’s op. 2, 13, 14 and 22 in a solo version for historical piano will be available in a superb recording by Dina Yoffe as part of a series entitled The Real Chopin. The winner of top prizes at the Robert Schumann Piano Competition in Germany and the Chopin Competition in Warsaw, Dina Yoffe took as her foundation the National Edition Urtext. Her performance is characterized by far-reaching faithfulness to the original text and to the original form of the pieces’ solo public presentation, as it took place in Chopin’s lifetime. The recording was realized at the Witold Lutosawski Concert Studio of Polish Radio in Warsaw.
