Chopin / Koroliov Koroliov Series 11: Frederic Chopin CD

One has not been able to experience it as beautifully as with the great Russian pianist Evgeni Koroliov for a very long time. Koroliov plays this music with a fascinating feeling for time and rhythm, essentially strict without exaggerated rubati and delays, without anything extrinsic, perfumed or making an effect. This is a pure, pensive, internally directed Chopin that doesn't get lost in Parisian salons but rather in the landscape of Masovia and Kuiavia. This is already now surely one of the most beautiful Chopin CDs of the upcoming anniversary year. (BR, "Leporello")
