Where it came from
This Deutsche Grammophon release, catalog number 30 030 EPL, features the pianist Wilhelm Kempff performing Frédéric Chopin’s Ballade No. 2 in F Major and the Barcarolle in F-sharp Major. Released during the mid-20th century, the record reflects Deutsche Grammophon’s commitment to high-fidelity documentation of the Romantic repertoire, capturing Kempff’s nuanced, introspective approach to Chopin’s complex lyrical structures.
The design of this release follows the austere yet elegant aesthetic common to Deutsche Grammophon’s EPL (Extended Play) series from the 1950s. The packaging focuses on utility and clarity, prioritizing the prominence of the performer and the composer over ornamental graphics. This presentation was well-received by contemporary critics and audiophiles for its emphasis on the technical excellence of the pressing and the intellectual rigor of Kempff’s interpretation.
