Chopin Frédéric – Solo Piano Works by Vladimir Ashkenazy

Ο Vladimir Ashkenazy ήταν ο πρώτος πιανίστας που είχε καταγράψει και εκτελέσει πλήρως τις σόλο εργασίες του Σοπέν, ενώ το όνομά του έχει συνδεθεί στενά με το συνθέτη [Chopin Frédéric] από τότε που πήρε το δεύτερο βραβείο στον Διεθνές Διαγωνισμό το 1955 Chopin Competition in Warsaw.
Ο Vladimir Ashkenazy μας παρουσιάζει σε αυτό το boxset κλασικής μουσικής τις βασικότερες και σημαντικότερες εργασίες του μεταξύ 1974 και 1984, με πολλές κορυφαίες συστάσεις των κριτικών.
