| Album Description |
| On this recording American pianist Richard Dowling performs important piano works spanning the lifetime of Frederic Chopin (1810-1849). From his early virtuosic style to the lyric and masterful style of his adult years, Chopin's genius is presented here in a disc of familiar and not-so-familiar works that will appeal to music lovers as well as serious classical music connoisseurs. |
| The Singapore Business Times "Capturing the true essence of Chopin, pianist Richard Dowling conveyed poetry in the works. Here, clearly, is a pianist of high ideals as he approached every work with utmost attention to detail in balance, phrasing and pedalling. More importantly, his efficient technique was unfailingly musical and even the most daunting technical passages were transformed into objects of beauty. Dowling had something personal to say and impressed with impeccable control of colours and textures...he received a standing ovation and left the audience craving for more at the end." |
