Ekaterina Litvintseva began playing the piano at the age of four; and studied music from 1994 to 2001 at the Children's Music School in the remote Russian town of Anadyr; on the Bering Straits. At 15; her family moved to Moscow; and she attended the State Chopin Music School. Having since moved to Europe; she has become much admired for her performances and recordings of Romantic classics by Chopin; Brahms and Rachmaninoff; though she has also explored the work of lesser-known composers from the period such as the Croatian pioneer Dora Pejacevic (PCL10226). The present release marks her second recording of the Chopin concertos; made in the Czech town of Pardubice in October 2022; and it completes her recorded survey of the composer's works for piano and orchestra after the Piano Classics album of the lesser-known Variations on Mozart; Fantasia; Krakowiak and Andante spianato and Grande Polonaise. Litvintseva has extensive experience of working with conductor Vahan Mardirossian: 'We are a perfect team,' she says. 'For me; if you want to express your feelings in the deepest way as a pianist; you have to learn the music of Chopin. This is a unique opportunity for me; being able to re-record the concertos six years later; and I have re-thought many aspects of my interpretations. I think I have something to say in this music. It flows so naturally; and it's written in a brilliant style shared by many other composers of Chopin's day; but only he could also bring such poetic expression to the brilliance. My job is not to destroy the music with artificial intervention; but to let it flow through my mind and through my hands. I simply want listeners to be touched by this music.'

I believe the seller had the item drop shipped. It was not sent with any padding and the box suffered some slight damage. I contacted the seller about the issue. It took a day or 2 before reply-but they did offer me a discount or to return package. I was happy they replied and were receptive to doing something to correct the problem. I decided on the the discount they offered to avoid the trouble of the return.
ImportCDs is a great seller. I ordered the Contagion 4k steelbook from them, it arrived from Oz to Canada, but was unfortunately the wrong version, regular instead of steelbook. They were very quick with their response and issued me a refund. I've used them several times in the past and will continue to buy from them based on my great experience with their CS. Thanks!
The item was listed "Limited Edition 4k Blu-ray", but I received the standard 4K Blu-ray edition. Regardless, it is brand new and sealed, and the seller offered me a small refund as a gesture of good faith, and professional courtesy. The shipping was also super fast. Pleasure doing business with.
