Like New.” *by H***U on Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2021* It’s hard to rate something fairly when beset by intrusion of bias. I imagine it’s as good as Chopin gets. I had purchased Rubinstein nocturnal suites without hearing them first. That was a first. And a last. It usually works the other way around. I let my ear be my guide, and that never disappoints.Unfortunately the Rubinstein collection literally put me to sleep, even after several attempts to get through the nocturnes. Doubt that’s what Chopin had in mind. Those interpretations can be tricky.Anyway, the Ashkenazy collection is like being in Chopin Paradise.However, I was under the impression when I purchased this collection, it was “new,” since I don’t buy used. When package arrived, I was really excited. But it was obvious when I opened it was “used, like new”.Also remember seller saying something like, “Hurry. Only one left in stock.” Naturally, that’s what I thought I was buying... new. But just checked it out now and same message appears. So how does seller have only one left in stock after I purchased the only one left in stock?Anyway, I love Ashkenazy doing Chopin and to have a collection of the complete works is phenomenal. Hoping it’s as “like new,” as it claims.What I still can’t figure is how I managed to buy something I would never and have never purchased... something used? Can’t wrap my head around that one. That’s the basis of my 3 star rating. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The genius of Chopin via the mastery of Ashkenazy *by G***K on Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2001* I have listened to the works of a number of composers, but Chopin always stands out with his remarkable ability to translate raw human emotion into musical tones from the piano. In my opinion, what other composers might have sought to accomplish with the variety of voices in the orchestra, Chopin was able to do with one instrument. To replicate this is no easy task, and Ashkenazy does a fantastic job in this set of CDs.The music of Chopin contains so much pure poetic beauty, but I think his true genius comes through in pieces written in the minor keys. Chopin was a truly great blues composer of his time. I suppose that the most common vehicle for expressing "blues" or "tragedy" in that era was the opera. But Chopin could accomplish it without the need for words. He knew how to express human pain and angst. Take the Nocturne in E minor, for example (Opus 72 #1). If you can appreciate the blues, then I'm sure you'd have no trouble hearing the pathos in that piece played by Ashkenazy. To understand, appreciate, and especially to play the blues, one must be able to feel the blues. And again, to express this musically is no easy task. For the piano, it requires subtle technique with dynamics and license in meter (which Chopin was occasionally criticized for) to truly translate the emotion. Ashkenazy does this quite well.I'm no expert in judging the electronic quality of a recorded CD, but I detected no flaws in that respect. I am an appreciator of the music. And in that light, I definitely recommend this CD set. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent set *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2011* The playing and sound quality on this set are superb. I don't have any other Chopin albums in my collection and suspect after this one there won't be any more. Chopin is definitely my favorite when it comes to piano music. His ability to write such technically difficult pieces that are also melodic and pleasing to the ear is truly incredible. Money well spent.Back when I bought this I also got Schubert's sonata's, Mozart's sonatas and a few Liszt albums. After listening to all of those I still keep coming back to the Chopin. He's just the best when it comes to the piano. I've also listened to some other versions of some of these songs and this set still sounds the best to me. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/7045290-chopin-the-piano-works](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/7045290-chopin-the-piano-works) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
