Description:

[Classical Masters No. 11] A collection of definitive and long-selling recordings from Warner Classics (formerly EMI Classics). The analog recordings are the latest remastered recordings from analog masters at Abbey Road Studios and other overseas studios. The front cover uses the original overseas cover design. Commentary included. Du Pré, who had been ill for some time, returned to playing for the first time in five months and recorded this piece in a hurry. Chopin's performance is a mixture of the prayerful mood of a person suffering from illness, and Franck's performance is a mixture of contemplativeness and intensity, both of which are masterful.
