Description:

Compared to the Chopin performances of todays young pianists, who prioritize precision above all else, Yabuwonskis playing is at times rough around the edgesa large-scale, deeply compelling performance that carries on the tradition of authentic Polish Chopin interpreters. While his performances of the Revolution Etude and Fantasy Impromptuplayed in one breathare truly magnificent, pay special attention to the solid structural integrity he brings to the grand Andante Spianato, which holds the listeners attention from start to finish without a moments letup. This is an album I can confidently recommend to many listeners, as it brings to mind Schumanns description of Chopin as a cannon in the shade of flowers. An in-store event at the Shibuya Store (6th floor) has also been scheduled for Saturday, May 16.intoxicate (C) Keigo Ito
