The Essence of An Iron Will: Chopin Fantasy, Sonatas and Mazurkas
LabelRomeo Records
Year2017
This all-Chopin recital centers on some of the composer’s most substantial and psychologically complex works, including the Fantasy in F minor, major sonata repertoire, and selected mazurkas. Rather than emphasizing Chopin primarily as a miniaturist, the program presents a composer of formidable structural imagination, dramatic power, and emotional resilience, balancing large-scale works with the compressed expressive world of the mazurkas.
