Daniele Rustioni (Dir) // Fresh from his success in Vienna with the Rondo à la Krakowiak, Chopin decided to compete with composers of piano concertos then enjoying huge success in the city: Moscheles, Hummel and Kalkbrenner. Dedicated to Kalkbrenner, the Piano Concerto No. 1 marries brilliant virtuosity with expressive melancholy. In Piano Concerto No. 2, heroism is tempered by a more reflective intimacy that reaches its apotheosis in the beautiful slow movement.
