Chopin Edition

Deze 17-cd set presenteert de complete werken van de solowerken voor piano, de werken voor piano en orkest, kamermuziek en liederen. Chopin is een van de populairste en meest geliefde componisten aller tijden. De pianowerken van de Poolse meester raken de harten van elke luisteraar en muziekliefhebber over de hele wereld, ze spreken de universele taal van schoonheid, melancholie, tederheid en passie. Deze editie, gebaseerd op de eerder uitgebrachte editie uit 2015, bevat een aantal opvallende wijzigingen: de Etudes worden gespeeld door Zlata Chochieva, een opname waarvoor ze een Gramophone Editor's Choice ontving en die werd opgenomen in de "50 best Chopin Recordings of All Time". De werken voor piano en orkest zijn gloednieuw en worden gespeeld door de briljante Ekaterina Litvintseva ("een opmerkelijk moment in de geschiedenis van de interpretatie van Chopin" (Fanfare). De Nocturnes worden gespeeld door Claire Huangci. Ongewijzigd in de editie zijn de verbluffende uitvoeringen van de Ballades, Impromptus en Preludes door Wolfram Schmitt-Leonardy ("fusie van gepassioneerde vurigheid en klassieke tekstuele strengheid", Jed Distler op Classicstoday.com).
