About

From the poet of the piano, Frederic Chopin, comes a compilation of some of his most memorable moments – both for solo piano and for piano with orchestra. And for the musically curious there is a rarity as well – the ‘Krakowiak’ with one-time Sydney-based conductor, Willem van Otterloo, conducting the Hague Resident Orchestra with Stefan Askenase as soloist.
