About this album
Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli’s Chopin recital is a benchmark of control, clarity and inward intensity. This selection brings together 10 Mazurkas with the Prelude Op. 45, Ballade Op. 23 and Scherzo Op. 31, allowing his famously exact touch and sculpted phrasing to illuminate Chopin’s rhythmic bite and lyrical depth. Michelangeli was widely regarded as one of the great pianists of the 20th century, and these performances show why: the music is finely balanced, unsentimental and remarkably transparent, yet never cold. For listeners seeking Chopin interpreted with rare discipline and authority, this album remains compelling.
