Acclaimed conductor, composer and pianist Mikhail Pletnev marries instinct with intellect in this journey through the works of Fryderyk Chopin.
After the sweepingly romantic Barcarolle and the complexity of the Polonaise-Fantasy, Mikhail Pletnev explores the contemplative nocturnes that Chopin wrote throughout his lifetime, ending with the Polonaise Op 53 that inspired Chopin's long-time companion, George Sand, to exclaim "L'inspiration! La force! La vigueur!"
