The quintessential Romantic--handsome, elusive, sickly--Chopin
(1810-1849) is a composer with a classical sense of perfection
whose popularity and reputation rest almost exclusively on the
music he wrote for the piano. Some of it is brilliantly virtuosic,
some is polished with an elegant simplicity, some is rhythmically
catching--and all of it is magical. Here
are his essential recordings.
