Frederic Chopin: Wilhelm Kempf Plays Chopin (Dynamic Audio CD)

Wilhelm Kempff (piano)

Berceuse in D flat major is a performance of poetic playing, inspired lyricism and exceptional clarity: “At his best, he plays more beautifully than any of us” Alfred Brendel

Whenever Kempff tackled Chopin he often created a stir, and this recording bolsters his controversial reputation, confirming his as an individualist who chose to go his own way and eschew traditional approaches.
