Description

Georgian prodigy Khatia Buniatishvili's award for Best Chopin Interpretation in the Rubinstein Piano Competition suggested the repertoire for this all-Chopin album. Selections include the Sonata No. 2, Op. 35 (one of the most powerful works of the post-Beethoven period), the lavish Ballade No. 4, Op. 54, the technically demanding Piano Concerto No. 2, and more. "Her sleeve note to this Chopin selection likens his music to 'a breath cut short before its time', and certainly, her delivery of the familiar 'Waltz in C-sharp minor' sounds as if she has to finish it before it bursts out of her, darting through sequences with amazing speed and lightness…. Her reading of the 'Funeral March' section of the Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor possesses a solemnity which, one imagines, strikes the loudest chord with her own spirit."—The Independent "The longing and regret she brings to the little Mazurka in A minor is certainly heartbreaking, but there's real anger in her thunderous Ballade No. 4 in F minor and in the presto of the Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor. This is playing straight from the heart from one of today's most exciting and technically gifted young pianists."—The Guardian
