Vahan MardirossianAbout
The present release marks her second recording of the Chopin concertos, made in the Czech town of Pardubice in October 2022, and it completes her recorded survey of the composer’s works for piano and orchestra after the Piano Classics album of the lesser-known Variations on Mozart, Fantasia, Krakowiak and Andante spianato and Grande Polonaise.
Litvintseva has extensive experience of working with conductor Vahan Mardirossian: ‘We are a perfect team,’ she says. ‘For me, if you want to express your feelings in the deepest way as a pianist, you have to learn the music of Chopin. This is a unique opportunity for me, being able to re-record the concertos six years later, and I have re-thought many aspects of my interpretations. I think I have something to say in this music. It flows so naturally, and it’s written in a brilliant style shared by many other composers of Chopin’s day, but only he could also bring such poetic expression to the brilliance. My job is not to destroy the music with artificial intervention, but to let it flow through my mind and through my hands. I simply want listeners to be touched by this music.’
