Music reviews of Ultimate Chopin [Box Set]
Music Review: Prime rib for the price of a burger
Rating: 5 Stars
If you are new to classical, or if your classical collection has a big Chopin hole in it, this set is a great place to start. This is a budget product, but it features some of the all time great pianists from the 20th century who are also very famous for their Chopin performances.
Some of the "ultimate" packages can only paint a very partial picture of the composer(s). For example, the Philips Complete Mozart boxed sets have over 150 cds! Thus, a 5 cd Ultimate Mozart can present a survey plus a few of his important works at best. Beethoven and Bach also have a truck load of music. Chopin, on the other hand has around 13 to 17 cds en toto.
Chopin was as a composer who keyed on the piano keys. Thus, he only has about 3 lps worth of orchestrated compositions and these involve the piano! Most of his output is for solo piano. Without question, Chopin composed some of the most beautiful, if not THE most beautiful music for the piano. This 5 cd set covers much of these key compositions: The preludes, the ballads, the Waltzes, the Nocturnes, plus his piano concertos. Two of the all time great Chopin artists are featured prominently on these disks: Askenazy and Arrau. If you were ever looking for a "no brainer" classical purchase, this has got to be it
