and excerpts from George Sand's 'Winter in Majorca' and 'Story of My Life', read by Hannelore Elsner
Chopin spent the winter of 1838/39 with George Sand and her children in Majorca, where they stayed in an abandoned Carthusian monastery at Valldemosa. George Sand wrote a famous and popular story about the holiday. On this CD Sand's words, taken from her memoirs, are spoken by Hannelore Elsner. “Pairing a selection of Chopin's works with George Sand's accounts of the nightmarish winter she and the composer spent together in Majorca, this performance is beautifully played and read.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2011 *** “superbly well played with the benefit of a beautifully voiced and recorded instrument” Gramophone Magazine, May 2010 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

This new recording of 21 of Chopin's Mazurkas sees the young Russian pianist Vassily Primakov commencing his exploration of Chopin's solo works for Bridge Records. “…Vassily Primakov… shows a special sense of a Slavic melancholy and gaiety at the heart of what is surely Chopin's most deeply confessional diary. Hyper-sensitive to mood-swings, his poetic insight is backed by deft and immaculate pianism. …Primakov surely reserves his ultimate triumph for the end. His op 17 No 4 in A minor is worth the price of the disc alone, memorably refined in sound, colour and nuance.” Gramophone Magazine, September 2009 “A refined equilibrium that blends momentum with tasteful rhythmic freedom. This is wonderfully multifaceted Chopin-playing, with the music’s joys and shadows sensitively voiced...His limpid touch is allied to a singing tone and lyrical line, with accents discreetly pointed up to give the music buoyancy, and a refined equilibrium that blends momentum with tasteful rhythmic freedom. This is wonderfully multifaceted Chopin-playing, with the music’s joys and shadows sensitively voiced.” The Telegraph, 10th June 2009 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
