CD Reviews

Excellent collection for any Chopin buff!

Paul J. Fulcher | Maryland USA | 01/06/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Wonderful collection! In the main very well played indeed by the various pianists. The tracks on origional Pleyel pianos are very interesting and informative.

I have a couple of slight issues with technical matters on just a few tracks. (regarding the newer instruments) Mics too close and piano voicing problems for example, but these are very minor as I tend to be quite critical on such things.

I am a chopin buff myself and am delighted with this product!"
