Description

Veteran Norwegian pianist Håkon Austbø focuses on the central works of Chopin's late period on his new Simax release. Frédéric Chopin had a "scientific" way of grasping artistic subjects in his music. The works Austbø has prepared for 'Chopin Now' are all great examples of Chopin's extremely focused style. The composers he himself appreciated the most were of course Bach and Mozart, and a modern reading of Chopin underlines his polyphony. Mr. Austbø has been active as a pianist for over 50 years, and is highly regarded for his Messiaen, Scriabin, Brahms, Grieg and Debussy recordings.
