Description:
Shigehiko Kawaguchi, Littler, Bruce Liu, and Argerich! A feast of Graf and Érard instruments brought to life in Warsaw. The National Fryderyk Chopin Institute (NIFC), a Polish national institution dedicated to recreating the sounds of Chopin’s era using period instruments. At the first “Chopin International Period Instrument Competition” (2018)—a major turning point for the institute—Shigehiko Kawaguchi won second place, raising the profile of the fortepiano. This recording features a live performance from the opening concert held prior to the second competition in 2023. In addition to Tomasz Rittel, the winner of the first competition, and Shigehiko Kawaguchi, who took second place, Bruce Liu, winner of the 18th International Chopin Piano Competition, performed on the fortepiano, generating great anticipation with a program centered on Beethoven. A surprise announcement of Martha Argerich’s appearance just before the concert sent the local audience into a frenzy. The concert opened with Kawaguchi performing the world premiere of Dai Fujikura’s “Bridging Realms for Fortepiano,” commissioned for the second competition. The recording includes Littell’s exquisitely crafted “No. 3,” Argerich demonstrating her overwhelming presence even after a long hiatus from the fortepiano, and Liu’s “Choral Fantasy”—which was not streamed—all captured in full. Pay close attention to the sound of the Erard. Tokyo M Plus
