About

The essential collection of favourite Chopin solo works - over 140 minutes of pure listening pleasure.

“Chopin was the greatest of us all, for he discovered everything through the piano alone”. So wrote Debussy about the Polish master. This collection – featuring the world’s greatest pianists – bears out this remark, ranging from the dreamy to the heroic, from the passionate to the playful, with all of Chopin’s favourite titles included.
