Frederic Chopin: Piano Works

The legendary appearances of a genius: “At eight o'clock last Monday evening, the salons of M. Pleyel were ablaze with light. Equipages were drawing up in a constant stream, and exquisitely elegant ladies were descending from them at the foot of a set of steps covered with a carpet and decorated with fragrant flowers; there were fashionably dressed young people, and the cream of the fine society and the nobility through birth, wealth, talent and beauty. On the platform a grand piano stands open, crowded around by the people, to get one of the best places, because the man they were waiting for and whom everyone wanted to see, hear, admire and applaud was not only a dazzling virtuose, a pianist who was also a master of the art of composition. He was all this and more - he was Chopin. "(part of a quote: Detmar Huching)

“Vladimir Bunin was born in 1945 in Moscow. Already in 1952 he began his musical training, which he finished in 1969 at the famous Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory. His performing career takes him all over the world.” — Vladimir Bunin
