Title: Big Disapointment
Review: This 2 CD set was very disappointing to me. The album is subtitled: The Essential Chopin Collection. If this was the essential Chopin, I wouldn't be listening to his music at all. Considering that most of the pianists were first rate, I expected a much broader selection. To my ear, they were mostly the sweeter, more popular pieces, appealing to more conservative tastes. Granted that they were lovely pieces, they didn't demonstrate the breadth of Chopin's unique musical genius. I was expecting his more fascinating and adventurous works as heard in many of the Etudes, Preludes and Nocturnes. I'll look more carefully next time.
