Does anyone know which CHOPIN PIANO SOLO cds sound the best?
Is there a particular pianist, box set or cd that you can recommend? Thanks....Tony

I can also recommend anthologies by Cortot (EMI), Horowitz (Sony) and the Preludes with Argerich (DG). Cheers!

The party not over yet (and there'll always be someone to give us a ride back home)! BTW, I HAD forgotten the Pollini -- but can't find it in the dg catalogue. Would you have particulars? I was hooked on Cortot and Berezovski until now! Thanks for reminding me! Cheers
