“Towering virtuosity that triumphs over the primitive Russian technology of the mid-1970s, sending out shockwaves of electrifying pianism, apparently without the slightest effort.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2012 ***** “prospective viewers should be aware that the tape is getting on for forty years old now. The sound quality is certainly pretty reasonable...The [Beethoven] playing is crisp, forthright accenting in the left hand setting up energy and dynamism. His Chopin recital is of lighter material, Waltzes and Mazurkas, all of which are played with commitment and energy.” MusicWeb International, January 2013 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Impressions on Chopin
To celebrate the bicentennial of Fryderyk Chopin's birth, Naïve are proud to re-issue, ‘Impressions on Chopin’ - a fascinating, charming and refreshing album that sees the internationally acclaimed jazz pianist Leszek Mozdzer perform his own arrangements of well known works by Chopin. An outstanding pianist, composer and producer, multi-award winning Leszek Mozdzer is one of Poland’s best-loved and most successful jazz pianists. In Mozdzer’s world of music without nationality, the Polish mazurka works alongside ragtime, flamenco and Cuban calypso and the typically Chopin rubato is occasionally replaced by a swing pulse. The original harmony too becomes a field for experimentation, and with the piano significantly ’prepared’ the sound of the music is entirely different, indeed at times, light years from the Chopin of tradition. All arrangements are by Leszek Mozdzer, except tracks 4 and 15 which were arranged by Leszek Mozdzer and Madjid Khaladj. Following its initial release, ‘Impressions on Chopin’ garnered Mozdzer international acclaim and resulted in him being ranked as among the most outstanding pianists and virtuosos of his generation. “Though unabashedly provocative, this highly inventive recital should win more friends than enemies.” BBC Music Magazine, Christmas 2010 *** | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days.

The works of Chopin have had a big influence on Richter’s performing life. He attributed his love of music to his father playing a Chopin Nocturne and the programme of his very first recital included many of Chopin’s works. He turned back to these works in later years. This recital was recorded live in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory in May 1967. “...several recordings, such as that of the C sharp minor Etude, Op. 25, are out of this world.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2010 *** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
