Overview
‘Chopin’s main means of expression’, observed the Russian author Boris Pasternak, ‘… was melody, melody that was more genuine and more powerful than any other we know’.
Few can match Janina Fialkowska’s compassionate engagement with Chopin’s art, directed in this recital to a programme that reflects the composer’s profound feeling for the higher reaches of the human spirit.
