Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli - Chopin 10 Mazurkas - Japan CDCredits: Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli Description: The "Mazurka" uses rhythms from Polish folk dances, the Ballade No. 1 climaxes with a dramatic coda in a grand structure, and the Scherzo No. 2, in which Chopin freely incorporates his own ideas into the scherzo form, which has been used since Beethoven's time. Benedetti Michelangeli's performance of Chopin's masterpieces is a masterpiece, with crystal clear sound and clear, polished expression.
