Jan Smeterlin Plays Chopin - Waltzes And Mazurkas
Review by Greg Hedgepath
Jan Smeterlin's performance in the album "Waltzes and Mazurkas" is a true masterpiece of classical music. The album comprises of some of Chopin's most well-known pieces, and Smeterlin's interpretation of them is nothing short of breathtaking. The album's recording quality is top-notch, capturing Smeterlin's delicate touch on the piano with remarkable clarity.
The album's opening track, "Waltz in A-Flat Major, Op. 34 No. 1", sets the tone for the rest of the album. Smeterlin's playing is precise, yet imbued with a sense of emotion that draws the listener in. The same can be said for "Mazurka in B-Flat Major, Op. 7 No. 1", which showcases Smeterlin's ability to bring out the nuances and subtleties of Chopin's music.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Waltz in C-Sharp Minor, Op. 64 No. 2". Smeterlin's playing is hauntingly beautiful, capturing the melancholic mood of the piece perfectly. Similarly, "Mazurka in A Minor, Op. 17 No. 4" is a standout track, with Smeterlin's playing conveying the piece's lively, dance-like rhythm.
