Album insights

After the celebrations for his 70th birthday earlier this year, newly recorded works by the great Chopin interpreter have been released. Included are the Préludes op. 28, 4 Mazurkas op. 30, 2 Nocturnes op. 27, and Scherzo No. 2, op. 31. Chopin published the Préludes op. 28 in 1839, following the Mazurkas and Scherzo No. 2 of 1837, which were released as op. 30 and 31. In this latest recording, Mauricio Pollini skillfully highlights Chopin's enchanting musical poetics, likened by Baudelaire to a magnificent bird gliding over the horrors of an abyss.
