Zimmerman captures the emotion of Chopin's waltzes
The performance is filled with deep musical insight and resonance, elevating the drama beyond the form known as the "waltz."
Chopin's waltzes are often not only dance-like but also strongly introspective and lyrical, and Zimmerman's performance brings these elements to the forefront in a well-balanced way. Zimmerman's exquisite technique, cultivated since winning the Chopin Competition in 1975, coexists with spirituality, making this a masterpiece that is not only captivating to listen to, but also leaves a deep, lingering impression on the listener.
