Genre: Classical
Following the success of Jonathan Phillips' debut release, Bach: Tranquillity, Divine Art brings you his carefully curated selection of Chopin's finest ballades and nocturnes. This selection naturally follows Phillips' debut as Chopin himself was known to be strongly influenced by Bach. Recorded to replicate a "live" performance, Jonathan recorded two takes, deliberately avoiding all the usual editing, in an effort to communicate his love of these pieces as intimately as possible. A graduate of the Royal Northern College of Music, Jonathan's Concerto experience is considerable, with over 100 performances including concertos by Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, Chopin and Schumann. Jonathan worked with Tamás Vásáry who recommended him to take part in the 1990 Tchaikovsky competition in Moscow. Since then, Jonathan has broadcast for the BBC, Russian and Italian and Swedish TV and radio, and given recitals all over the UK, Europe and former Soviet Union. Jonathan was interviewed by John Humphries and played live on Radio Four's Today programme following a full-page feature article in the Guardian Arts Section about the preparation and performance of the Rachmaninoff 3rd Piano Concerto he gave in London in 2003. Bach: Tranquillity, Jonathan's debut album from Divine Art was released in May 2023 receiving much praise and described by Classic FM's Katie Breathwick as "a little drop of heaven".
