Chopin: The Works For Piano and Orchestra / Goerner, Kenner, Olejniczak [2 DVD]

Notes & Reviews:

On February 26, 2010 a historic concert took place in Warsaw, the birthplace of Fryderyk Chopin: during the course of that single evening all the works written by this composer for piano with orchestra were performed. Playing an Érard piano dating from 1849, the pianists Nelson Goerner, Kevin Kenner and Janusz Olejniczak, alongside the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century and Frans Brüggen, each performed one of the six works which the young Chopin, still at that time in Warsaw, composed in order for them to be displayed before the demanding public of his own country. Completing the film of this event is a series of interviews with the soloists, and with Marc Destrubé, the orchestra's leader.

BBC Music Magazine
This was one of the most memorable concerts in my experience. Revisiting it through this live recording is something I cherish. Happily, it stands up to scrutiny away from the special atmosphere of that occasion...[Kenner] plays with poetry, virtuosic fluency and a searching quality ideal in this music...But the Argentinian Nelson Goerner is the hero of the concerto, bringing superb style to four works that, if anything, are tougher than the concertos.
