Chopin:Préludes/Impromptus

I might be saying a blasphemy, and I declare myself guilty. But this is the best CD I have found to be working, while listening to it. They are so varied and melodious. Sweet or strong, energetic or reflexive. Beautiful interpretations by Claudio Arrau.

In this Philips/Decca CD, Arrau plays Chopin, with recordings from 1974 and 1981.
