Janina Fialkowska - Chopin - Récital 4 (2023) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

ATMA Classique is proud to present Chopin Recital 4, featuring the celebrated pianist Janina Fialkowska, a towering figure on the international classical music scene.

Fialkowska has made 14 much admired recordings for ATMA Classique since her label debut in 2005, including another six programs devoted exclusively to Chopin, a composer for whom she has a great affinity.

This latest recording was made at Palais Montcalm in Qu?bec and features two Chopin Polonaises Op. 40; three Preludes Op.28; two Nocturnes; the Ballade No. 1, Op. 23; the posthumously published Valse in A Minor; the Berceuse, Op. 57; the Scherzo No. 3, Op. 39; and the Grande valse brillante, Op. 18–the composer's first and bestknown waltz.

For over 50 years, concert pianist Janina Fialkowska has enchanted audiences and critics around the world. She has been praised for her musical integrity, her refreshing natural approach and her unique piano sound thus becoming "one of the Grandes Dames of piano playing" (Frankfurter Allgemeine, 2015). Born in Canada, she began her piano studies with her mother at age 4 continuing on in her native with Yvonne Hubert. Fialkowska has received her native Canada's highest honours, including "Officer of the Order of Canada", the "Governor General's 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award in Classical Music", as well as three honorary doctorates. She passes on her considerable musical experience in master classes and at her annual "International Piano Academy" in Bavaria, where she now resides.
