The Best of Chopin!
Hollis B. Garver | Rochester, NY USA | 08/19/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Imagine being able to travel back in time to 1848 to hear Chopin's last concert in Paris! This CD takes you there with the same playlist, the same piano and a host of Polish performers who play their countryman Chopin's and other composers to perfection. This is a must-have CD for anyone who loves Chopin's music and other music of the Romantic Era. It represents some of the finest, even if not the best known, pieces written by Chopin and those pieces chosen by Chopin himself for his concert. For example, Chopin's Sonata for Cello and Piano in G Minor, B 160, Opus 65, Largo Movement is hauntingly beautiful and not often included in collections of Chopin's music. I know of no other Chopin CD that captures Chopin in his own time as well as this one and this concert in 1848, just a year prior to his death, speaks volumes for this great composer and his world."
