Album insights
Diving into the brilliance and beauty of Chopin's lesser-known works for piano and orchestra, Jan Lisiecki dedicates his latest album to this repertoire. Lisiecki made a sensational debut in 2010 at just 15 years old with his recording of Chopin's piano concertos, impressing critics and earning an exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon. Teaming up with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra and Krzysztof Urbański, the Polish First Guest Conductor, Lisiecki has crafted another musical gem for the renowned yellow label. As part of his 2017 tour, Lisiecki will showcase Chopin's works at key venues like the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg on March 15, the Philharmonie im Gasteig in Munich on March 20, and the Alte Oper in Frankfurt on March 21, solidifying Chopin's legacy in Lisiecki's musical journey.
