The Chopin Project

Ólafur Arnalds

Felt-dampened piano and weathered strings recorded through vintage gear. A dusty, intimate reimagining of Chopin that sounds like a half-remembered dream.

March 16, 2015 · Parlophone Odeon Series

A fragile, antique beauty that feels like a private conversation across centuries.
