Tomasz Ritter - Chopin/Carol: Sonata b-moll, Ballade f-moll; Polonaise d-moll

Tomasz Ritter, the winner of the International Chopin Competition on Period Instruments, delighted the audience showing the great understanding of Chopin style in his playing. The album contains his interpretations of Karol Kurpi?ski's compositions, whose Polonaise in D minor was chosen by Ritter for the first stage of the competition, and Fryderyk Chopin's works. The repertoire was performed on as many as three period Instruments: a copy of Buchholtz from ca 1825-1826, Playel's piano from 1842 and Erard from 1837.
