Chopin’s waltzes are written for the Parisian salon, for a sophisticated audience of artists and aristocracy. Though more 'light hearted' than most of his other compositions, they bear the unmistakable genius of Chopin: refined and exquisite pianism, brilliance and melancholy, sorrow and joy go hand in hand.

Italian Alessandro Deljavan is one of the most remarkable pianists of his generation: “His playing is full of intensive power and contagious artistry” (Dmitri Bashkirov), “he is one of the most interesting pianists I’ve heard in my life” (Fou Ts’Ong), “he is one of the most major talents of his age” (John Perry), “Jaw-dropping virtuosity and heart-stopping eloquence” (Dallas Morning News).
