Released on May 27, 2022, under the Sheva Collection label, this exquisite collection showcases the pinnacle of classical piano music, spanning a captivating hour and one minute of pure musical brilliance.

In addition to the preludes, the album includes the enchanting "Prelude in C-Sharp Minor, Op. 45" and the grand "Polonaise-fantasie in A-Flat Major, Op. 61," a piece that blends the grandeur of a polonaise with the freedom of a fantasia. Chopin's unique ability to blend technical virtuosity with deep emotional expression is evident throughout these compositions, making this album a treasure trove for both seasoned classical music enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
Experience the rich tapestry of Chopin's musical legacy, where each note tells a story and every piece is a journey through the soul of one of the greatest composers in history.
