Description:

Chopin by Ashkenazy is highly acclaimed as a masterpiece. The Nocturnes, in which Chopin's unique world of fantasy is expressed in an unaffected, lush tone, are the definitive disc in which all 21 pieces can be heard at a high level of performance. The ballades are also beautifully performed with delicate expression.
