Description:

The shining pianism of Masako Ezaki, a pianist who conveys the essence of Chopin, is featured on a new disc as part of the complete Chopin recordings. The new disc, part of the complete Chopin recordings, is the long-awaited Piano Concerto No. 1, recorded live with Norichika Iimori and the Century Orchestra of Japan. The concert Allegro, recorded as a coupling, was initiated as the Allegro movement of the Third Concerto. Masako Ezaki, who infers from Chopin's surviving words that the work may have been composed as a wish for Polish independence, celebrates the song's qualities in a thousand purple and red color patterns. Her music has a Slavic song and sensibility cultivated in Poland, and the charm of its many folds and layers of full sound is unmatched in its portrayal of Chopin's soul and beauty. This is a fitting album to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the restoration of Polish independence.
