    Idealised by romantic myth, Frédéric Chopin is undoubtedly one of the most celebrated composers in history. This virtuoso pianist devoted his whole output to his instrument and developed a unique style which made him ‘an extraordinary artist’ (Berlioz). Here the musicians of harmonia mundi present some of his most famous pieces, a glimpse of the inner world of this genius who ‘made use of art solely to fulfil his own tragic destiny’ (Liszt).
