Frédéric Chopin is perhaps the most extraordinary composer for the modern piano, “the poet of the piano”, as Schumann said. His work presents a wide range of possibilities, which are highlighted by the repertoire chosen by the pianist for this album: Expressive and intense pieces such as Ballade No. 1 and Scherzo No. 2, are complemented by the melancholy and serenity of Nocturnes and Preludes. The Mazurkas, on the other hand, reflect the composer’s Polish national pride, with their splendid melodies and effusive rhythms.

Acclaimed by critics as one of the greatest Brazilian pianists, Clara Sverner has always had an immense affinity with Chopin’s universe, as if her soul could interpret the composer’s soul. Recorded and produced by Jeffrey Ginn in Potton Hall, on the outskirts of London, in one of the most renowned English studios, CHOPIN presents prodigious interpretations from the pianist, extolling the romanticism, fluid elegance and grandeur present in the work of this great musical genius.
