The Chopin Connection

In the spirit of my own musical lineage, my debut double-album with CRD Records The Chopin Connection offers a rare insight into the piano works of Chopin by connecting his much-loved repertoire with little-known compositions by two of his pupils from the Rothschild Family. Vol.1 brings focus to Charlotte de Rothschild  (1825-1899), featuring her Quatre pièces de piano alongisde works dedicated to the baroness by Chopin himself, including masetpieces such as the Fourth Ballade. Vol. 2 introduces the entire piano repertoire of Mathilde de Rothschild (1832-1924), incorporating her Feuille d'album next to unpublished works such as Tristesse along with Chopin waltzes, mazurkas and his monumental Polonaise-Fantaisie. Released on September 2026, Vol. 1 is now available for streaming and purhcase through the above links. Vol. 2 of the album is due for release on September 2027.
