Chopin's 'Piano Concertos' are works of a twenty-year old composer and ambitious soloist. Powerful and challenging, their romantic dimension also carries sensitive effusions. This duality is highlighted here by an interpretation on period instruments in a chamber version. Direct heir to Chopin's piano teaching legacy, David Lively chose a vintage rard piano to record both 'Concertos'. Accompanied by a string quintet, he revives the tradition of the genre. Before being performed in big concert halls, composers and pianists like Chopin played their latest scores in music lovers' salons. The broad ambitus covered by the strings and the richness of the sound of the pianoforte respect the symphonic dimension of these two pieces.
