The Four Ballades
About the concert
Through these four works, Chopin unfolds a world of rare richness, where narrative breadth, dramatic tension, intimate poetry and virtuosity intertwine. From the dark and passionate surge of the First Ballade to the striking depth of the Fourth, this cycle forms a vast musical journey, at once free, contrasted and profoundly inspired. Brought to life by a pianist of strong artistic sensitivity and intellectual depth, this evening offers an immersion into one of the absolute masterpieces of the piano literature.
