German pianist Burkard Schliessmann is a performer with a passion and vision – to seek out and interpret forms, colours and textures, indeed soul and expression - the poetic impact, of works we believe have already been fully explored. His previous recordings have received worldwide acclaim - “Schliessmann is too good a pianist for anyone to pass on this” – American Record Guide; “without equal” – Fanfare.

This triple SACD set with state of the art sound and luxury packaging chronicles the works of Chopin in order, showing the composer’s development, and is thus informative for scholars as well as being a superb recital. Chopin is the composer above all who has inspired Schliessmann and his interpretative style.
