The best for the price or for any price.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a generic 2 cd set called 'Chopin'. It contains over 155 minutes of pure bliss with Abbey Simon being the primary pianist (by a longshot).

The price is $5.98 for a mixture of Nocturnes, Waltzes, Preludes, Etudes and other favorite pieces. There is no historical or analytical documentation except for the standard list of contents. The sound is perfect. The emotions seem toward the middle, not too much and not too little. An excellent album for just about anyone who wants to hear Chopin on a shoestring budget.
