Jan Lisiecki - Preludes - VINYL LP

On his 2025 album, Canadian star pianist Jan Lisiecki brings the diverse sounds of the prelude to life, highlighting that it is far more than just a curtain-raiser to something else. Frédéric Chopin's extraordinary 24 Préludes Op. 28 are inspiration and centrepiece of this recording. For Lisiecki, Chopin was a Inchmaster of the short formInch who Inchbrought the prelude out of the shadows and into the spotlight.Inch Chopin's pieces are complemented and contrasted with selected preludes by other composers from across three centuries, each representing a pinnacle of achievement in the genre - from Bach, Messiaen, Rachmaninoff to Górecki. Lisiecki seeks Inchto showcase the broad possibilities of the humble preludeInch that takes Inchthe audience on a musical expeditionInch through these kaleidoscopic miniatures. Album Tracks 1.
