Provenance

Where it came from

This 1978 release on the Philips label was part of an effort to highlight the lyrical and virtuosic range of Frédéric Chopin's solo piano works. By coupling the second piano concerto with a selection of popular shorter pieces, such as the 'Heroic' Polonaise and the 'Raindrop' Prelude, the compilation served as a concise entry point for listeners to experience the emotional depth of the Romantic repertoire, drawing upon Philips' extensive archives of high-quality classical recordings.

The performances featured here include renowned Chopin interpreters Adam Harasiewicz and Dinorah Varsi. Harasiewicz, an acclaimed winner of the International Chopin Piano Competition, was highly regarded for his poetic sensibility and structural clarity, while Varsi was celebrated for her technical brilliance and nuanced phrasing. These recordings were received as definitive examples of a mid-century European approach to Chopin, characterized by refined rubato and a balanced, transparent recorded sound typical of the Philips production standards of the era.
