These are two of my three "unpopular" favorites. It is wonderful to see them performed and by an artist who not only "owns" the music he plays, but is obviously having a great deal of fun with the pieces and with the audience. This is how to make Chopins' music live.
I knew Francesco Libetta in 1992; he was with his teacher V. De Donno in the jury of a national piano competition in Locorotondo. I had the honour to win the first price and to be awarded from him... Then I saw Libetta more times in Naples... No doubt he's one of the most gifted pianists of the world... He's got not only technique, but also intelligence, culture, fine musical sensibility....in short...a complete Artist....
