Jan Lisiecki - Discography

Discography

A debut CD was released in January, 2010, by the Fryderyk Chopin Institute. The Fryderyk Chopin Institute's website states: "The first CD opening a new series of recordings performed on modern pianos. It is the recording of the Piano Concertos in F minor and E minor by Fryderyk Chopin, which were performed at the National Philharmonic Concert Hall during the festival Chopin and His Europe in 2008 and 2009 respectively. The performer was Jan Lisiecki, a 14-year-old great talent, born in Calgary. He was accompanied by Sinfonia Varsovia conducted by the British conductor and pianist Howard Shelley.

Recorded during the festival Chopin and his Europe at the Warsaw Philharmonic Concert Hall, August 21, 2008 and August 20, 2009 ."

On April 16, 2012, Jan released his debut CD for Deutsche Grammophon featuring Mozart's Piano Concertos nos. 20 & 21. Jan explains in context of the release of this album: “Mozart often wrote very different works at one and the same time. Even so, the carefree surface of the C major Concerto conceals beneath it traces of the dark energy of the D minor Concerto. Conversely, this last-named piece also has something of the lightness of the C major Concerto. That’s why I was so keen to record both these pieces together.”
