Description

Join Garrick Ohlsson and Ben Laude for a 12-part deep dive into the music of Chopin. Episode 1 coming October 2nd!

Each episode in this series is dedicated to one of Chopin's major compositional genres, and features Garrick as well as 1-2 special guests approaching the pieces within that genre from a number of different angles – analytically, historically, and pianistically. Follow us at chopinpodcast.com.
