LAFUR ARNALDS & ALICE SARA OTT – The Chopin Project (Reissue) – CD

Description

CD

Originally released in 2015, The Chopin Project was a beautiful exploration of Chopins music brought to audiences here for the first time on colour vinyl.

The music of Frdric Chopin has been recorded hundreds of times before. But never like this. The Chopin Project brings together award-winning young Icelandic pop/classical musician lafur Arnalds and the acclaimed German-Japanese pianist Alice Sara Ott for an exciting new take on Chopins music. Arnalds chose a programme of Chopin works to create an emotional arc through the disc, and then composed linking sections for string quintet, piano and synthesizer based on the atmosphere and motifs of those pieces.
