Chopin+Pollini: 12 études op.25

What a delicious CD. It flows glowing. Soft, virtuous, precise.
This is CD #7 in the Maurizio Pollini edition box set.
See this post on Pollini's interpretation of Brahms to see another superb recording.

Maurizio Pollini, Fréderic Chopin (1810-1849). Deutsche Grammophon 1972(études), 1985(sonata), 1991(Berceuse).
