Evgeni Bozhanov Plays Chopin

Evgeni Bozhanov, piano

Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849)
Barcarolle op. 60 in F-sharp major, Polonaise op. 71 n°2 in B-flat major, Impromptu op. 51 in G-flat major, Waltz op. 64 n°3 in A-flat major, Grande Valse Nouvelle op. 42 in A-flat major, Ballade op. 47 in A-flat major, 3rd Sonata op. 58 in B minor

Recorded in the mythical Salle de Musique at La-Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland, this is the first solo recital of Evgeni Bozhanov (°1984), the Bulgarian pianist who has been shaking the piano world for over a year. At the major international competitions in which he has taken part since 2009, always reaching the finals, nobody remained indifferent - neither jury members nor public - to this exceptionally gifted pianist, seated in a low position and drawing unbelievable sounds from his piano. Whether in Warsaw (Chopin 2010), Fort Worth (Van Cliburn 2009) or Brussels (Queen Elisabeth 2010), he produced a resolutely personal sound, notably in Chopin. Thanks to his Second Prize at the prestigious Queen Elisabeth Music Competition, awarded on 1st June 2010, Evgeni Bozhanov was given the opportunity to leave a trace of his so original art with Fuga Libera, with the valuable help of the bank BNP Paribas Fortis, who chose him as their laureate for 2010-11.
