Chopin: Tableaux Intimes

Jean-Pascal Hamelin, piano

Chopin

Jean-Pascal Hamelin, who recently conducted an orchestra of 25 musicians in the successful Montreal show "Edgar et ses Fantômes", is the brilliant pianist of this new album. He draws on his conducting experience to depict various creative stages in the life of Chopin with true orchestral quality. From the composer's early works to later masterpieces, Jean-Pascal Hamelin paints striking poetic pictures that give virtuosity its real meaning. Under his subtle fingers, Chopin has never sounded closer or more modern.
