The making of this CD was part of the prize awarded to the winner of the 2007 Manchester International Piano Competition. The First Manchester International Concerto Competition for Young Pianists was held in August 2007 in Manchester Cathedral, offering young pianists the rare and exciting opportunity to perform a concerto with an outstanding professional orchestra. Each applicant had to prepare and submit on DVD a complete performance of one of the standard romantic or classical piano concertos. From an initial number of pianists who entered from twenty countries, twenty-four young semifinalists were invited to come to Manchester to perform (twelve pianists in the 16 and under section and twelve in the 22 and under). After performing their concertos with piano accompaniment at Chetham’s School of Music, four finalists were chosen to perform their concertos with Manchester Camerata under Stephen Threlfall. The competition was an unusual event in that every member of the jury was a well established concert pianist. In this respect it looked back to an earlier era of musical history, when the majority of jurors in piano competitions were players rather than teachers or critics. But the emphasis of the competition, which will be held again in August 2009 and which received a tremendous amount of encouragement and positive feedback from audiences, professional musicians, the media, teachers and participants themselves, is forward looking. It emphasises the positive for every young pianist who chooses to enter. |

"He quickly displayed the compelling hallmarks of his style: light but devastatingly punchy octaves; well delineated rhythms (he can pounce on chords with a drum-like vigour when he chooses); a gossamer touch in lyrical episodes; and an impeccable ear for internal balance.” The Times (on Simon Trpceski playing Chopin at his Wigmore Hall recital in 2005) | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Profil’s Frédéric Chopin series has so far featured the Ballads and Impromptus (Vol. 1), Waltzes (Vol. 2), Polonaises (Vol. 3) and the Etudes (Vol. 4), and now the next in the series continues with a selection of more of his finest works. His previous volumes have all been well received by the press and Eugene Mursky has proved that he is a first-rate pianist definitely worthy of his international competition success. He was awarded 1st Prize in the prestigious World Piano Competition, 1994, and also the Chopin Prize for the best Chopin interpretation. “Mursky has shown himself to be an artist of potentially wonderful talent.” The Daily Telegraph |
