ESOTERIC SACD ESSG-90280 CHOPIN 4 Ballades Barcarolle Fantasie ZIMERMAN
Zimmermann's Chopin is full of weight and power in each note, inviting the listener to the depths of the music.
■Expresses the intensity and depth of emotional ups and downs with great clarity.
The flexible tempo used extensively in the two piano concertos recorded in 1999, which we recently introduced in this series, Unlike Dynamics,
all of these ballads (as well as the boat songs and fantasies included) approach the core of the work with a more direct expression.
Regarding ballads, Zimmermann says, ``Chopin did not choose the ballad form in the same way that he used the mazurka or polonaise to express patriotic sentiments.
Nevertheless, the collection of ballads is full of great emotion, filled with patriotic struggle.
In these works, patriotism appeals to the emotions.
''Zimmermann's performance is similar to that of Chopin.
Incorporated into the work
Although he clearly expresses the intensity and depth of his emotional ups and downs, he maintains a stoicism that never falls into sentimentality.
Although he understands the content of Mickiewicz's poems, which Chopin drew inspiration from, it seems as if he is more concerned with unraveling the clarity of the musical structure than with concrete description.
Truly strong touch, endlessly changing nuances, exceptionally beautiful sounds.
.
.
all unique music that can only be heard from Zimmermann.
Even in Chopin's masterpieces, such as the Boat Song and the intricately structured Fantasia, the performance is interpreted from the same point of view.
