Garrick Ohlsson won the 1970 Chopin International Piano Competition, just four years before the recital performance of Chopin and Liszt featured on this DVD. Ohlsson has also recorded the complete works of Chopin to global acclaim and is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading exponents of his works.

Jeremy Siepmann describes Ohlsson as demonstrating subtlety, brilliance and generosity of performance in the Brahms Concerto.

Ohlsson has recorded on the Arabesque, RCA Victor Red Seal, Angel/EMI, Bridge, BMG, Delos, Hänssler, Nonesuch, Telarc and Virgin Classics labels and has been awarded a Grammy Award for his disc of Beethoven Sonatas. He also features in a Chopin documentary, ‘The Art of Chopin’, which was released on the EuroArts label in 2010.

‘Ohlsson embraces the visual dimension as intrinsically musical – and essential, not a peripheral ingredient in the complete artistic experience of musical performance.’ - Jeremy Siepmann
