I really enjoy your program! I loved the week exploring one of my favorite composers,Chopin! I thank you for such an in-depth musical program.
I can't believe you went through a whole week of Chopin without one sample of Piotr Anderszewski's Mazurkas. I have never heard Chopin's Mazurkas played so truly, as the sexy, Polish tango dances that they are. Rubinstein was great but, save for his recordings, he is, alas, dead. Anderzsewski is not yet 40, and very much alive.
