Canons Hidden in Roses

Chopin’s Polonaises are amongst the composer’s most iconic works. Inspired by an old tape

recording of my great-grandmother, a Jewish pianist from Riga who studied in Berlin in the

1890s and 1900s and survived the horrors of the Nazi regime, I recorded these master

pieces for Resonus Classics earlier this year (to be released in January 2027), four of which

are featured in this recital.
