RECORDS > Contemporary instruments
As in ’The Real Chopin’ series, the so-called ’White Series’ is planned as a set of the Complete Works of Fryderyk Chopin – but on contemporary instruments. The series opened with a disc containing both of Chopin’s piano concerti in the rendition of the then-13- and 14-year-old Jan Lisiecki (accompanied by Sinfonia Varsovia), recorded during the Chopin and His Europe festival. Presently, new titles appear on a regular basis, sometimes realized as a ‘negative’ of new publications of The Real Chopin: the pianist is asked to record the same program on both historical and contemporary instruments. The two discs appearing in tandem – aside from their artistic value – make an extraordinary contribution to the state of knowledge concerning Chopin’s work.
