Composer:
Frederic Chopin

Artist(s):
Maurizio Pollini

Background: One of the greatest pianists of our times interprets Chopin. As Pollini says: 'I play Chopin more freely than I did in my youth, or at the time of the Chopin competition. I like my old recordings, but some of them strike me today as rather straight.' Reason enough to make classical-music fans curious to hear how Pollini's Chopin sounds nowadays.

Chopin holds a pre-eminent place in Pollini's career; in 1960 he was awarded the first prize at the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw. This was the start of his extraordinary musical career. Despite this huge success, Pollini ceased performing Chopin in order not to become stamped as a mere Chopin interpreter. But he returned to him many times later.
