Description
This album by Benjamin Grosvenor features two of Chopin's most profound and contrasting works: Piano Sonatas Nos. 2 and 3. Written almost a decade apart, these masterpieces demonstrate the breadth of Chopin's emotional and musical genius. "Chopin's emotional depth and poetic sensibility mark him out as quintessentially Romantic, while his understanding of Classical architecture reveals a natural affinity with Mozart and Bach," says the pianist. Also included are the First Ballade, the Berceuse, and two Nocturnes.
