Garrick Ohlsson plays Chopin’s Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 2

Garrick Ohlsson and Antoni Wit celebrate Chopin.

Admired for his architectural and powerful interpretations of Brahms, Garrick Ohlsson proves once again his strength and endurance, performing two Chopin concertos on the same evening, lending his delicate phrasing and his gift for round and lyrical sonorities to these Romantic masterworks.

A great specialist of Polish music from its origins to our times, conductor Antoni Witt colors each passage and allows for two very supple concertos with the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra. The two performers wondrously showcase the young Chopin's blooming talent before his exile, as well as his marvelous mix of virtuosity and audacity.
