The profound world of Chopin's Preludes
Eschenbach's intelligence unites the 24 microcosms into a single story.
While each prelude has its own distinct character, a remarkable unity emerges when listening to the entire piece. Eschenbach's pianism emphasizes inner depth over technical brilliance, capturing the poetic essence of Chopin's music. This recording, recorded in 1971, already demonstrates a mature interpretation.
