Roberto Prosseda presents the work of Sergio Baietta with these words "...In this new album, the pianist and composer Sergio Baietta presents an unprecedented concept: that of ‘grafting’ into Chopin’s incomparable piano writing some ‘extraneous’ elements, which, however, as happens in every successful grafting, harmonize perfectly with Chopin’s music. It sounds new and different, but also perfectly natural.
Sergio Baietta plays with our store of musical memories. From the mesh of Chopin’s pianism, he brings out fragments of other melodies that belong to our listening heritage. It is not so important to be able to grasp all the more or less concealed quotations that Baietta disseminates in his Etudes d'après Chopin, but it is worth letting oneself be transported in the perceptive short-circuits into which he leads us. And he does so as a true virtuoso of the piano, since it is he himself who performs the 24 Etudes, demonstrating a command and pianistic naturalness equal to his compositional inventiveness..."
