FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN

Pianist Rafał Blechacz performs a miniature masterpiece by Chopin: the well-known Waltz in C sharp minor, Op. 64 No. 2. Dedicated to one of the composer’s wealthy pupils, Baroness Charlotte de Rothschild, this is one of a set of three waltzes that were published in 1847 and together reveal Chopin at the height of his imaginative powers. Blechacz’s expressive, flowing interpretation underlines the poignancy of the writing.
