About this album
Zimerman’s Chopin waltzes offer a refined, intelligent reading of some of the most loved miniatures in the Romantic piano repertoire. Frédéric Chopin’s 14 waltzes move between salon grace, melancholy lyricism and sudden brilliance, and Krystian Zimerman gives them exceptional clarity, poise and tonal control. Recorded in 1977, this set shows why Chopin’s piano writing remains central to the classical canon: the music sounds intimate yet technically exacting, elegant without becoming decorative. Zimerman brings out the dance pulse and harmonic subtlety in a way that highlights both the music’s surface charm and its deeper expressive weight.
