DEBUSSY Estampes · CHOPIN Trois nouvelles études & Scherzo No. 2 / Nelson Freire | Deutsche Grammophon

We continue our series of historic recordings from the Münchner Klaviersommer, presenting a previously unreleased recital by Nelson Freire from 1982.

In Debussy’s Estampes, the Brazilian pianist brings a refined sense of colour, rhythm and atmosphere, while Chopin’s Trois nouvelles études reveal his delicacy and poise. The programme culminates in the Scherzo in B-flat minor, where lyrical freedom and understated virtuosity are held in striking balance. A vivid concert document, the recording adds another compelling chapter of Freire’s artistry to the DG catalogue.

The album is available digitally.
