4*s
Guest Pianist Emmanuel Despax showcases both his virtuosity and generosity as a mentor to aspiring Chopin interpreters.
“Emmanual Despax is, without a doubt, one of the finest Chopin interpreters today
Despax’s astonishingly light fingerwork captures the work’s [Berceuse] lullaby-like quality …So delicate and precise is his playing….Despax works wonders with the undulating octaves.
superb solo recital…for lovers of Chopin, hearing Despax perform live is an absolute treat.”
