Chopin (CD)

$21.99

Rafał Blechacz – Chopin presents his insightful interpretations of Sonatas Nos. 2 and 3, among the most musically adventurous and technically demanding in the piano repertoire. It also includes two carefully chosen companion pieces: the Nocturne Op. 48 No. 2 and the Barcarolle Op. 60. Rafał Blechacz recorded this programme in the autumn of 2021, by which point the associations of this music had become even more moving. “I think it has a special meaning in this difficult time,” he says. “We’ve had a pandemic, and now there is a war in Ukraine. So many people have died. There was a sense of dedication as I recorded this sonata.
