19 Valses

Description

Very popular during Chopin's lifetime, the Waltzes have long held a place on the stands of both professionals and amateurs: particularly virtuosic – most of them are obviously not meant for dancing – sometimes melancholic, they nevertheless retain the lightness and grace characteristic of the genre. They have accompanied François Chaplin since his beginnings. After many years spent playing them, unraveling their apparent simplicity, and exploring all the poetry they contain, this early Chopin enthusiast brings together the 19 Waltzes traditionally recognized in this magnificent recording, 10 years after his complete set of Nocturnes. This complete and continuous interpretation allows them to be appreciated in a stunning ensemble of verve and beauty.
