Chopin 24 Preludes, Op.28

Alim Beisembayev won First Prize at the prestigious Leeds International Piano Competition in September 2021 and in 2023 became a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist. Now all eyes in the piano world are upon this young musician, who has begun a dazzling career, both in concert and on disc. At the centre of his programme are Chopin’s 24 Preludes, blending deep emotional intensity with technical mastery, complemented by romantic works by Ravel and Liszt. A Scarlatti keyboard sonata, characterised by its baroque elegance and inventive style and Eleanor Alberga’s short work of astonishing virtuosity, are a delightful contrast.
