Stephen Hough has a unique affinity for the music of Chopin, it has always been a central part of his repertoire. His name has become synonymous with pianistic elegance, flawless technique and immense musicianship and he has become globally renowned for his engaging and refined Chopin interpretations. In his published Waltzes Chopin brought a new level of sophistication to this popular dance form. His unpublished Waltzes are generally less complex but display considerable wit and charm, qualities ideally suited to Hough's pianism. This LP is part of Hyperion's 2024 Vinyl Edition.
