Yaroslav Senyshyn Plays Chopin
Yaroslav Senyshyn piano
Frederic Chopin composer
Czech National Symphony Orchestra | Oliver Dohnanyi conductor
Internationally-acclaimed pianist Yaroslav Senyshyn demonstrates a breathtaking capability for tenderness and artistic flair on YAROSLAV SENYSHYN PLAYS CHOPIN. These behemoths of Romantic piano literature, widely considered to pose near-impossible technical and emotional challenges to the performer, are fully brought to life and vigorously commanded by Senyshyn’s impeccable Ukrainian-school pianism.
Many pianists struggle to decide between a pearly, singing tone and powerful dynamics; Senyshyn unites both and makes this formidable feat seem effortless. There is always delicacy, even in chord-heavy fortissimo passages; there is always punch, even in the whisper of a cantabile. Dizzying, exhilarating, and a profoundly enjoyable testament to pianistic excellence.

Artist Information
Yaroslav Senyshyn

A Steinway Artist, Senyshyn commands a large solo and concerto repertoire of the great classical and Romantic eras, but takes particular pride in working with living Canadian composers such as Larysa Kuzmentko, Reeves Medaglia-Miller, David Smith, Donald Cochrane, Catalin Ursu, and the Japanese composer Atsushi Yoshinaga. He has recorded most of these artists on Albany Records and world premiered some of their works on the concert platform.
