About

This disc is pianist Lestari Scholtes's first solo disc. The selection is both a personal one and also a private story of Chopin, as the pieces outline a journey in time through his entire output.

"To me, this album is both a personal story and a musical narrative about one of the (piano) composers I find the most fascinating: Frederic Chopin. I chose a dozen works; twelve of his jewels that represent different stages of his life and that each hold a particular significance for me. I open up this album with the First Impromptu , the first of Chopin's works I was to learn as a young teenager. The album closes with the first piece by Chopin that I heard as a toddler: my mother often played the Waltz, op.64 no.1, at home on our dark brown Rippen piano. My mother, who was always so closely involved and supportive from the first time I reached up to the piano as a young girl until my last concert before her untimely death last April." - Lestari Scholtes

Lestari Scholtes features on three discs in the Challenge Classics Catalogue: she is the pianist of Trio 258 (Rachmaninov: CC72920) and of the Scholtes & Janssens piano duo (Mozart/Schubert: CC72848 and Ten Holt; CC72987).
