‘The Chopin I Love’ is a title he borrowed from one of the most formative recordings of his youth, an LP of Arthur Rubinstein. Donohoe’s personal selections represent works which have always resonated with him.
The most substantial works in this collection are the Preludes, Op. 28, whose technical demands place them firmly amongst Chopin’s most virtuosic works. Although Chopin did not necessarily intend for all 24 Preludes—one in each key—to be played as a group, they are performed here as a complete cycle.
24 Préludes, Op. 28
2 Nocturnes, Op. 62
3 Écossaises, Op. 72 No. 3
