Frédéric Chopin
Ballades Op. 23, 38, 47 & 52
Impromptus Op. 29, 26, 51 & Fantaisie – Impromptu op. 66
Amir Katz, piano
As a „successor project“ to the double CD of the
Nocturnes, Amir Katz has now recorded 4 Ballades
and 4 Impromptus at the Teldex Studios in Berlin.
On the occasion of his concert in early November
2011 in Munich, at which he anticipated the CD
programme, Klaus Kalchschmid wrote the following
in the Süddeutschen Zeitung:
„Unlike many pianists, Katz trusts the natural flow
of the music. With a wonderful leggiero he forms the
F-sharp major Impromptu, finding a magnificent balance
of the two hands in the A-flat major Ballade before
the narrative stream appears to carry him away without
his seeming to have done anything.“
