Andrejs Osokins – Virtuoso
Virtuoso – Liszt & Chopin
Liszt and Chopin two of the greatest composers and pianists of the Romantic era. Both child prodigies, they transformed piano music with unparalleled virtuosity and emotional depth. Despite their contrasting personalities—Chopin, the introspective poet, and Liszt, the charismatic showman—they shared an intense artistic bond that redefined piano composition.
This album, presented by Andrejs Osokins, celebrates their extraordinary connection. Chopin’s music, filled with deep emotion and patriotic fervor, contrasts with Liszt’s groundbreaking innovations and boundless energy. Their music, shaped by love, longing, and artistic passion, continues to captivate audiences today.
