Exquisite!

Ashkenazy is in a place of rich perfection and maturity of his art on this recording. In the past, I sometimes felt that his performances were a bit technical - not on this album. His playing on Essential Chopin has depth and great passion . . . perfect Chopin!

The best recording of Chopin I've ever heard! Spectacular!

Ashkenazy's interpretation is just outstanding. A must for any music fan.
