Description
Discover the complete complete Ballades and Impromptus by Chopin. The names of these genres were not invented by Chopin, but he gave them a wholly new, original and personal meaning and content. The Ballades are full bodied works in a free narrative form, building up the tension and drama from the contemplative lyrical beginnings to the highly passionate conclusions. The Impromptus are in free A‐B‐A form, and are a fusion of the Nocturne and Ballade style.
Composer: Frédéric Chopin
Artist: Wolfram Schmitt-Leonardy (piano)

Wolfram Schmitt-Leonardy is one of the finest German pianists of his generation. Schmitt-Leonardy (b.1967) can boast among his teachers and mentors such luminaries of the piano world as Ciccolini, Ponti and Weissenberg. Critics such as Peter Cossé, Ingo Harden, Knut Franke, Jeremy Siepmann, Gregor Willmes, Ates Orga and others have praised his interpretations as ‘astonishing, exquisite, electrifying, dazzling brilliant, as well as grippingly independent’. He is ‘a virtuoso to the Russian manner born, but with a Classicist’s sense of proportion, a multi‐hued tonal palette which abjures only the ugly, and a propulsive rhythmic vocabulary which keeps you listening every note of the way.’
