Fou Ts’ong is one of the greatest Chopin interpreters alive today, a prize-winner at the Fifth International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 1955, at which he also received the Polish Radio Prize for the best performance of mazurkas, eighteen of which he interprets on an original ‘Chopinian’ instrument on this disc. They date from different periods in the composer’s oeuvre.
Recordings made on an Erard piano from 1849, in the Witold Lutosławski Concert Studio of Polish Radio in Warsaw, on 14-17 March 2005.
