Romantic Paris

Chopin and Liszt: two friends, two ways of making the piano speak.

Chopin — Polonaise-Fantaisie, Op. 61

Chopin and Liszt knew and admired each other in Paris, and yet everything sets them apart: one whispers, the other sets the piano ablaze.

I like hearing them side by side — the late Chopin, so intimate, and the visionary Liszt of the Années de pèlerinage, who ends this recital with Dante.
