Nikolai Demidenko

To mark the bicentenary of Chopins birth, two leading Russian pianists tackle the great Romantic composers two piano concertos: Evgeny Kissin plays the F minor Concerto op. 21, a key work in Chopins output, while Nikolai Demidenko performs the E minor Concerto op. 11, a virtuoso display vehicle of the first rank. They are accompanied by the Warsaw Philharmonic under the direction of Antoni Wit. Enthusiastically acclaimed by the audience at Warsaws Philharmonic Hall on 27 February 2010, this memorable concert has been captured in first-class sound and picture quality.

Some 250 years after the death of Johann Sebastian Bach, four noted classical pianists tackle the composer's "The Well-Tempered Clavier," a collection of keyboard pieces often referred to as the "Old Testament of piano literature." The program features soloists Nikolai Demidenko, Andrei Gavrilov, Joanna MacGregor and Angela Hewitt performing in Venice, Italy; Barcelona, Spain; Oxford, England; and Bach's birthplace of Eisenach, Germany.
