Chopin: Mazurkas, Vol. 1
The first of two volumes devoted to Chopin's complete Mazurkas, continuing a Chopin journey that began over a decade ago on Linn.
Hers is a vital and arresting response to Chopin's alternation of fervour and insouciance, of mood swings from light to darkness, from gaiety to despair.
Her encore gave us as mellifluous a reading of a Chopin Nocturne as you'll ever hear.
Fliter dusted it with silvery figures, making for a gossamer halo effect, then led a joyous scamper through the high-flying finale.
It was a joy both to listen to and – indeed – to watch, as the pianist's hands glided with seemingly effortless precision.
