One of the most celebrated piano concertos of the Romantic era, Frédéric Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in F minor, Op. 21 was composed when the composer was just 19 years old. Full of lyrical melodies, dazzling piano virtuosity and youthful inspiration, the work remains a cornerstone of the classical piano repertoire. In this performance, pianist Evgeny Kissin is accompanied by the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Antoni Wit. Recorded at the Warsaw Philharmonic Concert Hall in 2010, the concert formed part of the celebrations for the 200th anniversary of Chopin’s birth. (00:00) I. Maestoso (15:07) II. Larghetto (24:10) III. Allegro vivace Frédéric Chopin (1810–1849) composed the concerto when he was still living in Poland and just beginning to establish himself as a pianist and composer. At the time, he was performing in Warsaw and exploring the possibilities of combining the expressive intimacy of the piano with the broader sound of the orchestra. The work also reflects his growing fascination with the bel canto tradition of Italian opera, particularly the lyrical vocal style championed by composers like Vincenzo Bellini and Rossini. This influence can be heard in the piano writing, where long, ornamented melodies almost as if they were sung by a human voice. Interestingly, although it was published after his Piano Concerto No. 1 in E minor, it was actually written first. Legend has it that the concerto was in part inspired by Chopin's feelings for Konstancja Gładkowska, a young singer whom he was said to be infatuated with. Perhaps this explains the work's remarkable combination of youthful passion, tenderness and melancholy. The concerto consists of three movements, each of which show a different aspect of Chopin's musical imagination. The opening Maestoso begins with an orchestral introduction in F-minor before the piano enters with an expressive theme. Meanwhile, the second movement, the Larghetto, could be considered the emotional heart of the work. It's quiet, intimate and lyrical with a restrained orchestral accompaniment. The final movement, Allegro vivace, draws on the rhythms and character of Polish dance music bringing the work to a lively end. Evgeny Kissin is internationally acclaimed for his interpretations of the Romantic piano repertoire, particularly the works of Chopin. His performances combine technical precision with a strong sense of musical structure and expressive depth. In this concert, the collaboration with the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Antoni Wit brings together three artists with a close connection to the Polish musical tradition. Recorded in Warsaw, the city where Chopin spent his formative years, this performance offers a fitting tribute to one of Poland's most celebrated composers and to the enduring emotional power of his music.
