Where it came from
Released in 1954 under the Deutsche Grammophon catalog number 30 030 EPL, this recording features the performances of pianist Stefan Askenase. These works, Chopin’s Ballade No. 2 and the Barcarolle, represent two distinct facets of the composer’s Romantic output: the turbulent, shifting narrative of the Ballade and the lush, atmospheric lyricism of the Barcarolle.
The recording is part of the early post-war era of the Deutsche Grammophon label, which was solidifying its reputation for high-fidelity classical captures during the transition from the shellac era to the vinyl microgroove format. Stefan Askenase, a Polish-Belgian pianist renowned for his profound interpretation of Chopin, was a cornerstone of the label’s roster during this period, favored for his delicate phrasing and dedication to the authentic spirit of the Polish master.
