There’s something timeless about the piano, the way it can capture emotion without a single word. With “Appassionata,” Roby Braun delivers a composition that feels both intimate and grand, a modern tribute to classical beauty built on the harmonic foundation of a prelude by Frédéric Chopin. This isn’t just a reimagining; it’s a conversation between eras, where romantic expression meets contemporary sensitivity.

From the first few measures, “Appassionata” unfolds like a slow burn, rich in tone, perfectly balanced, and emotionally charged. You can hear Braun’s respect for Chopin’s original structure, but he also injects his own personality into it. The phrasing feels natural and spontaneous, like a stream of consciousness captured in melody. Every note seems to breathe, giving the piece a human pulse rather than a mechanical perfection.
The harmony, that lush, unmistakable Chopinesque depth, anchors the piece, while Braun’s dynamic control adds texture and tension. Soft passages whisper like reflection, while crescendos swell into something cinematic, almost spiritual. It’s easy to close your eyes and get swept away in it the kind of music that doesn’t just fill the room, it stills it.

Technically, all the elements are on point and complement each other beautifully. The recording’s clarity allows the resonance of the piano to shine, and Braun’s touch is sensitive but confident a performer who understands not just how to play, but how to speak through keys.
