Frederic Chopin (1810-1849)
Ballades op. 23, 38, 47 & 52. /Fantaisie op.49 / Nocturnes op.9/2, 15/1 & 2, 48/1

The twin influences of Poland and of Italian vocal style are probably the most essential characteristics of Chopin’s music.
The ballades, nocturnes and fantaisie presented on this recording offer an exceptional picture of his lyricism and his universality as an inspired poet, transposing to the piano the delicate evanescence of the human voice and the proud, sorrowful poetry of the Polish soul.
