Chopin is renowned for compositions which exploit the full potential of the piano. This beautifully played and recorded disc is a superb example of an extremely talented young pianist’s interpretation of these complex works. Havard Gimse has accompanied many orchestras, including the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra which The Naim Label have recorded on several occasions. Havard has also won numerous awards and accolades; the European piano competition, the Steinway prize and the prestigious Grieg prize being amongst some of them. His style and presentation are such that this disc warrants repeated, awe-inspired listening: it really is that good! We employed the talents of Ken Christianson to make this live recording unmixed and direct onto two track tape. As our growing number of customers have come to expect, the latest album to be released on the Naim Label is a winning combination of musical and technical talent.
