Chopin, tremendous music you have probably not heard before

Description
Most people have an idea of Chopin asthe composer of miniature and dream-like pieces, qualities associated with femininity, instead of the heroic, large-scale virtuosity and ambition of, say, Liszt's brand of musical romanticism. Again, the facts of Chopin's life seem to confirm the antiheroic view of his music: instead of giving lucrative public concerts, Chopin earned his living through teaching a variety of wealthy patrons and princesses, restricting his Parisian concert-giving to a mere handful of appearances in the final two ­decades of his life. He pined for Poland and embarked on a complex, tortuous relationship with the writer George Sand, and spent the last few years of his short life in a near-constant state of ill health. Sojourns in Majorca and ­concert trips to Britain did nothing to ease his condition, and he died from tuberculosis at the age of 39. These recordings are compositions which most of us do not know. They are ravishingly beautiful, with large statements and intimacy. Listen and feel amazed at the luxurious and elegant sounds of the piano. Impress your friends by mentioning these pieces which are diamonds of discovery.
