Chopin 1810-2010. Enregistrements Historiques 1885-1947

“On the occasion of FrEdEric Chopin’s Bicentenary (born 1810, died 1849), there was no way we could miss blowing out his 200 candles with him! What would Chopin have thought of these musical birthday-presents from the 19th and 20th centuries? “Respectful” performances of the Master’s compositions dominate every tribute that is paid to Chopin today, but why not also take a look at the creative richness and widely-varied genres that his work inspired? From music-boxes to Swing, and not forgetting Romance or Musicals, this is the career of a genius. Thank you, Monsieur Chopin, and Happy Birthday!” Jean-Yves PATTE
