What Chopin solo piano cds are the best?

there are several good ones out there, ie: the ashkenazy stuff on london, but i guess, in my opinion, its tough to beat the remastered rubenstein sets. the sound is beautiful, and they have an excellent 1 Disc "sampler" for new listeners. i also own some very nice old recordings on dg, done by thomas vazary (sp)? anyway, done maybe in the mid 60's, but fine, nonetheless. happy listening! don

Frank: Not yet, but I've always admired his work and you've whetted my interest. Thanks for the recommendation.

i really like the libarace reissue on reprise.

I will echo the recommendation of the Moravec recordings originally released on the Connoisseur label. Moravec is a consummate interpreter of Chopin, with performances of extreme intelligence, insight and grace. Additionally, you will be hard pressed to find a more naturally recorded piano than in these Connoisseur recordings.

I always come back to the Rubenstein recordings.
