Two CDs filled with Chopin treasures from the world’s greatest catalogue of recorded music ... Exquisite flowing melodies, a deep seam of melancholy, a daring imagination and incendiary passion: Frédéric Chopin embodies the Romantic spirit of his time. Thirty of his haunting masterpieces are interpreted by an array of superb pianists, each capturing all the poetry and drama that the music has to offer.

Two CDs filled with music from the era of Bach, Vivaldi, Handel and Albinoni – music that can express the deepest emotions, yet always retains an irresistible freshness and lucidity. Among the treasures in this collection are The Four Seasons, The Arrival of the Queen Sheba and Jesu, joy of man’s desiring.
