Remarks:

Among the many recordings celebrating the 200th anniversary of Chopin's birth, this disc will stand out as an historic record of the composer's extraordinary influence and legacy. Chopin's unique style of piano writing utterly transformed the way in which composers wrote for and thought about the instrument. A fascinating selection of hommages is represented here. Jonathan Plowright has recently been described by Gramophone as, "one of the finest living pianists; the possessor of qualities that should no longer remain a secret." His formidable technique and musical integrity combine in a disc, which is a must for any pianophile.

Chopin's unique style of piano writing transformed the way in which composers wrote for and thought about the piano. Many composers and pianist-composers have felt moved to pay their respects to Chopin by writing their own works in homage of Chopin.
