About

For her Chopin debut on MDG (MDG9471818), Jin Ju was awarded the highest honours from the top authorities: the jury of the Grand Prix du Disque Frederic Chopin.

It is only every five years that these guardians of the Chopin legacy come together to distinguish a mere four extraordinary recordings. Now this Chinese pianist blessed with a special interpretive sense celebrates her induction into this illustrious circle with a continuation of recordings for MDG.

Including the Largo from the Cello Sonata (Chopin’s last finished composition), is an interesting rarity, and Jin Ju plays it in a version for piano solo by Alfred Cortot, whose standard-setting Chopin interpretations have influenced generations of pianists and music enthusiasts.

Performed on MDG’s “Manfred Burki” Steinway concert grand piano and recorded in their trademark 2+2+2 technology, this is a welcome second edition by this talented Chinese pianist.
