This new album by Charles Richard-Hamelin presents two important sides of Frederic Chopins work as a composer and confirms the place of this young musician in the high spheres of the piano universe. About Richard-Hamelin, the reputed BBC Music Magazine has written that he is fluent, multifaceted and tonally seductive a technician of exceptional elegance and sophistication Very free in form, the four Chopin ballads present a similar journey, in which tension will increase to a fiery coda. The four impromptus show Chopins affection for miniatures and salon pieces and reveal another facet of his work, putting us in touch with his talent as an improviser. An essential album!
