Peter Donohoe newest album was released on Friday, 20th September on Somm Recordings
This stunning new solo piano recital follows his recent acclaimed coupling of Chopin’s Second and Third Sonatas with Rachmaninoff’s Chopin Variations. This new album revisits Chopin in the genre for which the composer is arguably best known and loved: the waltz.
Donohoe has fashioned a substantial selection of 14 of Chopin’s Waltzes into a set of his own design, juxtaposing the intimate numbers with the grand and virtuosic in fortuitous key relationships that the pianist says “form a more satisfying collection” compared with simply playing them through as numbered.
