ACD2 2682

“Indeed, lesser mortals may well weep with envy at such unfaltering authority. She has done her one time mentor, Arthur Rubinstein, proud.” — Gramophone

• T
he legendary Arthur Rubinstein called her “a born Chopin interpreter.”   Now, Janina Fialkowska returns with a two CD set devoted to the complete mazurkas of Frédéric Chopin.

• This recording by one of the world's great Chopin interpreters at the culmination of her long and celebrated career will be a milestone for music lovers, and especially for connoisseurs of Chopin's works.

• Fialkowksa's 2012 Chopin Recital II recording on ATMA Classique won a prestigious BBC Music Magazine Award for Best Instrumental Recording.

• Beloved the world over for her exquisite pianism, Janina Fialkowska has enchanted audiences for over thirty years with her glorious lyrical sound, her sterling musicianship and her profound sense of musical integrity.   Blending her vast experience with her refreshingly natural approach, “Fialkowska has become an artist of rare distinction as well as retaining all the virtuosity of her youth.” (La Presse, Montréal)
