Ryo Fukaura: Liszt - Hungarian Rhapsody No.2

Step right up for Chopin's Revolutionary Etude, where piano playing transforms into a thrilling and daring spectacle! Dive into this masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of piano technique while tickling your eardrums with a devilish twist.

Chopin was like the mad scientist of Etudes, experimenting with split chords, thirds and octaves, counter-motifs, and arpeggiated chord constructions. The result? An innovative musical landscape that would make even Beethoven raise an eyebrow.

Etude No. 12 is Chopin's pièce de résistance, a fiery expression of passion that storms the stage with hurricane-like intensity. This powerhouse piece showcases heroic melodies, accompanied by stormy waves of left-hand passages – it's like Beethoven's symphonies cranked up to eleven!

Chopin's genius lies in his ability to turn melody into a living force. The Revolutionary Etude is a testament to that, as tension and relaxation weave together to form a harmonious whole. And thanks to Chopin's mastery of counterpoint, the piece achieves an unparalleled level of expression.

Even the likes of Liszt and Schumann had high praise for Chopin. Delacroix called him the "purest and best-tasting artist" he'd ever encountered. Liszt compared his music to an Aeolian harp that could magically blend all musical scales. And Schumann said Chopin's playing was like a "deep fundamental tone and a soft continuously-singing upper voice."

The Revolutionary Etude is a workout for the left hand, demanding precision, neatness, and respect for Chopin's writing. Accents every four semiquavers and a rapid tempo make this Etude an exhilarating challenge for any pianist.

So, buckle up for a rollercoaster ride of technical mastery and unbridled passion with Chopin's Revolutionary Etude – it's a musical adventure that'll leave you breathless! 🎹🔥🌪️

Frederic Chopin Etude op. 10 no. 12 "Revolutionary"

Frédéric Chopin /Waltz in A minor

My take on Chopin's saddest little prelude.  Two and a half minutes of ache.

Frédéric Chopin - Waltz In B Minor, Op.69 No.2 (No.10) (Orchestrated Version)

A lament from the start which builds with some intensity to a grief-laden recapitulation, after which comes a brief moment in the sun. Listen out for the two moments where a single note is played: solitary, bereft and strangely beautiful

SWW21.2

Paganini - Violin Concerto No. 2 In B Minor, III. Rondo “La Campanella“

"Through its dynamic co-operation TrondheimSolistene (the Trondheim Soloists) and 2L has always sort to stretch the boundaries of what is possible to convey to the listener, aiming for the ultimate recorded listening experience. With the Serenade the team has taken things one step further with the TrondheimSolistene truly justifying their name. By placing each individual next to someone from a different voice rather than sitting in conventional sections we are working at the very outer limits of what is possible and creating chamber music at the highest level" - Øyvind Gimse, 2012.

We allocated two weeks in 2011 to record this new album. Artistic director Øyvind Gimse and his associate Geir Inge Lotsberg initially chose two pieces that represent, in their estimation, "the most beautiful music ever composer for the string orchestra": Tchaikovsky's Souvenir de Florence and his Serenade for Strings. Aiming for a 90 minutes program left 30 more minutes to record. So the orchestra and 2L logged on to Facebook and asked the listeners worldwide what they'd like to hear. And the audience responded: Nielsen's Suite Opus 1. A little gem that would exploit the Trondheim Soloists' singular way with Nordic repertoire.

Inspired by Morten Lindberg's extensive work with choral music, the Tchaikovsky's SERENADE was recorded with the ensemble placed in mixed voices, meaning no one is sitting beside anyone playing the same part, creating a totally new soundscape to the music. Carl Nielsen's SUITE opus 1 is recorded in a more "traditional" way in these sessions: Facebook Photo Album - Recording Sessions Part I

What we recorded in May 2011 is now published exclusively as high resolution audio files, by streaming and on vinyl. Then our recordings from October will add up to a full release on Pure Audio Blu-ray in May 2012.

TrondheimSolistene (The Trondheim Soloists) are regarded as one of the top chamber orchestras in the world. Their DIVERTIMENTI and FOLK STYLE were both nominated for a total of five American GRAMMY Awards in categories "Best Small Ensemble", "Best Engineered Album" and "Best Surround Sound Album".

The music captured by 2L features Norwegian composers and performers, and an international repertoire reflected in the Nordic atmosphere. The surround sound recordings of Lindberg Lyd not only transforms the entire listening experience, more radically, these innovative recordings overturn some very basic concepts regarding how music is played and even composed. 2L emphasizes surround sound with Pure Audio Blu-ray and HiRes file distribution, and have garnered no less than 12 American GRAMMY nominations over the past six years.
