A Liszt recital on Sony Classical last year was Khatia Buniatishvili’s critically acclaimed debut as a recording artist. After the great recognition of this first album, she is now following this up with an album that encompasses five works by Frédéric Chopin. This album marks her debut concerto recording with orchestra.

Khatia Buniatishvili has been described by The Independent as “the young Georgian firebrand”. At the age of only 24 years, this Tblisi-born pianist has already achieved an exceptional maturity of interpretation and a distinctive artistic approach that make her playing unmistakable.

In the current season she is the “rising star” in Vienna at the Musikverein and Konzerthaus, is giving recitals in Berlin, Vienna, Amsterdam and Paris, as well as at the Wigmore Hall, is a guest at the festivals in Schwetzingen, Lucerne and Verbier and is making her first appearances with the Munich Philharmonic and the San Francisco Symphony.

“the most completely successful item on her enjoyable new Chopin disc is the stormy B flat minor Sonata...The young Georgian musician shows a remarkable command of her instrument and a volatility that may remind some of Martha Argerich. Yet Buntiahsvili's is not an entirely coherent view of the first moment's structure. She grasps the more straightforward trajectories of the remaining movements, delivering a gripping performance.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2012 ****

“Speeds are flexible; the phrasing is fresh, the poetic touch constant...High technical finesse and strong structural control are other attributes...Even when Buniatishvili is at her most focused, her febrile approach to Chopin’s art may rub some listeners the wrong way.” The Times, 14th September 2012 ***

Two releases on Deutsche Grammophon will be devoted to Chopin: a solo recital recorded in Warsaw, with deeply-felt Waltzes, a Polonaise, a Fantasia, a Nocturne and the B flat minor Sonata, as well as Chopin’s two piano concertos, accompanied by the Staatskapelle Berlin under Andris Nelsons, captured live at the Ruhr Piano Festival in July 2010.

“There are, of course, things to admire: the almost Brahmsian shaping of the Op 49 Fantasia, which is revealed again as one of Chopin's most remarkable formal structures; the crystalline beauty of the line spun through both the Berceuse and the Barcarolle; the inwardness of the D flat major Nocturne, carefully nuanced yet crisply defined.” The Guardian, 21st April 2011 ***

“He makes a magisterial start with the great Fantasie in F minor, viewing it from a German Romantic point of view” BBC Music Magazine, July 2011 ***

“The walzes are pointed up with gorgeously varied articulations and well-contoured bass-lines that thankfully draw more attention to the composer than the pianist...the engineering's resonant ambience communicates a palpable sense of occasion and flatters Barenboim's huge, colourful sonority.” Gramophone Magazine, August 2011

Yundi (piano)

YUNDI - Live In Beijing, a spectacular concert in the extraordinary new venue of the National Centre of the Performing Arts in Beijing. Here he gives a live recital, recorded for EMI Classics, of works by Chopin, including his great Sonata no.2. His encores are Chinese works which have been incredibly popular in his recitals around the world.

Yundi is famed throughout his homeland since his win in the Chopin Competition in Warsaw in 2000, where he was the first Chinese pianist to win the competition, as well as the youngest ever winner.

The first live performance available commercially globally from Beijing’s latest performing arts venue

A unique live recording of one of the great young Chopin pianists, performed in his homeland where he is a superstar. This recording will capture the energy and thrill of a very special live performance in a sensational new venue.

Since the competition that catapulted Yundi onto the international stage, his recitals and appearances with orchestras in Europe, Asia and the United States have been hailed by critics extolling his precise, crystalline technique, keyboard fluidity and boundless enthusiasm. His personality and artistry appeal to audiences of all ages and he is an icon in his native China, where he has inspired millions of young people, who refer to him as the "Prince of the Piano."

“In many respects the opening work - and Andante spianato and Grand Polonaise - shows him at his finest, with dizzying passagework, fine filigree and a high glitter content (entirely appropriate in this early piece). Predictably, the audience love it.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2011

Idealised by romantic myth, Frédéric Chopin is one of the most celebrated composers in history. This virtuoso pianist devoted his whole output to his instrument and developed a unique style which made him “an extraordinary artist” (Berlioz). Here the musicians of harmonia mundi present some of his most famous pieces, a glimpse of the inner world of this genius who “made use of art solely to fulfil his own tragic destiny” (Liszt).
