Christoph Eschenbach, a renowned pianist and conductor, presents a captivating collection of works by two titans of classical music: Frédéric Chopin and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. "Eschenbach Plays" - Chopin & Mozart, set for release on March 5, 2025, under the UME - Global Clearing House label, is a testament to Eschenbach's virtuosity and his deep understanding of these composers' intricate styles.
The album spans a generous 2 hours and 7 minutes, offering a comprehensive journey through some of the most celebrated pieces from both composers. Eschenbach's interpretation of Chopin's 24 Préludes, Op. 28, showcases the pianist's technical prowess and emotional depth, as he navigates the diverse moods and tempos of each prelude. From the stormy agitation of No. 1 to the passionate intensity of No. 24, Eschenbach brings out the unique character of each piece.
The album also features a selection of Mozart's piano sonatas, including the popular Sonata No. 11 in A Major, K. 331, with its famous "Alla Turca" finale. Eschenbach's renditions are marked by their clarity, precision, and expressive subtlety, highlighting the composer's ingenious melodies and harmonies. Additionally, the album includes several lesser-known works by Mozart, such as the Allegro in B Flat, K. 3, and the Minuet in F, K. 2, offering a fresh perspective on the composer's early output.
Eschenbach's performances are characterized by their elegance, sensitivity, and commanding technique. His interpretations are both respectful of the composers' intentions and infused with his own artistic vision, resulting in performances that are both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant.
