CHOPIN: Piano Concerto No. 2 / Allegro de concert / Andante spianato and Grand Polonaise

Haunting melodies, passages of thrilling virtuosity and one of the most beautiful Adagios from any piano concerto are the hallmarks of this quintessentially Romantic work. As a composer, the young Chopin set out to prove that he could master the orchestra as well as his own chosen instrument.
