专辑简介
The first of two installments in andante's Chopin series, this four-CD set surveys the Polish composer's works through unparalleled historical recordings by such keyboard giants as Rachmaninoff, Rubinstein, Horowitz, Cortot. Lipatti and Solomon, among others.
From the Etudes to the Ballades, the works of Frederic Chopin define the sound of Romantic piano music and stand as the core repertoire of many of the 20th century's towering virtuoso pianists.
This four-CD set captures history-making performances by the composer's greatest interpreters, including Rachmaninoff playing the Second Sonata, the great French pianist Alfred Cortot in the Preludes, and Rubinstein, Horowitz and Michelangeli in the Scherzos.
Digitally remastered by France's Art & Son Studio, these classic recordings have been infused with vivid new life through the CAP 440 process and the latest 24-bit technology.
The elegantly designed booklet features numerous rarely-seen archival photos of the pianists as well as images of the composer. IN-depth articles -- in English, French and German -- include an introduction by Tim Page, the Pulitzer Prize-winning critic for The Washington Post, an essay by pianist-composer Jed Distler, and biographies on the composer and performers from The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians.
