Frédéric Chopin had a \"scientific\" way of grasping artistic subjects in his music. The works Austbø has prepared for 'Chopin Now' are all great examples of Chopin's extremely focused style. The composers he himself appreciated the most were of course Bach and Mozart, and a modern reading of Chopin underlines his polyphony. Mr. Austbø has been active as a pianist for over 50 years, and is highly regarded for his Messiaen, Scriabin, Brahms, Grieg and Debussy recordings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Ballade No. 1 in G minor, Op. 23 \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Ballade No. 2 in F Major\/ a Minor, Op. 38 \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Ballade No. 3 in A-Flat Major, Op. 47 \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Ballade No. 4 in F minor, Op. 52 \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Barcarolle in F Sharp Major, Op. 60 \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Nocturne in B Major, Op. 62 No. 1 \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Nocturne in E Major, Op. 62 No. 2 \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Polonaise-Fantaisie in A-Flat Major, Op 61\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Chopin \/ Austbo, Hakon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40557238747207,"sku":"28170198","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/2874258.jpg?v=1747763575","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/chopin-austbo-hakon-chopin-now","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
