Using the new Polish National Chopin Edition, acclaimed pianist Eldar Nebolsin and Polands national orchestra conducted by the renowned Polish conductor Antoni Wit, here present fresh interpretations of Chopins great works for piano and orchestra. The Second Piano Concerto was written before the first and completed in 1830, the year in which the composer set out for Vienna and then Paris. Chopins Variations on Là ci darem la mano, bear witness to his admiration for Mozart, instilled by his earliest teacher, the Bohemian Wojciech Żywny. The Grande Polonaise brillante in E flat, Op. 22, was written in Vienna, and later augmented with the introductory Andante spianato.
