Album insights
Jan Lisiecki, the renowned Canadian pianist, releases his album "Preludes" to explore the kaleidoscopic world of preludes, aiming to showcase the wide range of possibilities that this modest form offers. Delving into the iconic Op. 28 cycle by Chopin, Lisiecki juxtaposes works by composers spanning different eras, such as Bach, Messiaen, Rachmaninoff, and Górecki. Skillfully highlighting their connections and contrasts, he unveils how the genre has evolved over three centuries. The album is available in digital format, on CD, and also on vinyl.
