Provenance

Where it came from

This ETERNA release captures the nuanced interpretations of Chopin’s four ballades and the Barcarolle, featuring the scholarship and performance of the distinguished Polish pianist and musicologist Jan Ekier. Released as part of the label's long-running series in the German Democratic Republic, the recording reflects Ekier’s lifelong commitment to the Urtext editions of Chopin’s works, emphasizing structural clarity and a faithfulness to the composer's original manuscript intentions over romanticized excess.

Jan Ekier, renowned for his work as the editor-in-chief of the National Edition of Chopin’s complete works, brought a unique analytical depth to this recording. The production was highly regarded for its sonic fidelity and Ekier's rigorous, precise technical approach, which stripped away layers of performance tradition to reveal the crystalline architecture of the compositions. It remains a definitive reference for listeners seeking an intellectually grounded approach to Chopin's mid-period masterpieces.
