Austrian pianist Ingolf Wunder won second prize at the 2010 Warsaw International Chopin Competition, demonstrating how skillfully he plays works by the great Polish composer. On this 2014 release, Wunder revisits his beloved Chopin and presents two of the greatest hits in the piano repertoire: Chopin’s and Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concertos, recorded live at St. Petersburg’s 2012 White Nights Festival. Wunder teams up with the supreme musicianship of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of legendary conductor Vladimir Ashkenazy.
“… it’s a long time since I’ve heard a young pianist make such an impression …”
– The Guardian
“His playing perfectly balanced stylish, aristocratic restraint with surging power and passion …”
– Gramophone
