50 Best Relaxing Piano (Various Artists) (CD)

50 Best Relaxing Piano [3 CDs] The great advantage of all Warner Classics compilations is that the collections are carefully compiled from original recordings of truly top performers in great technical quality. This clearly distinguishes them from the various anonymous "selections" of classical music that are available on the market and which, at a low price, also offer the corresponding low quality of the artists and technical processing. Whoever listens to piano music more often or regularly, certainly knows names like Hélène Grimaud, Maria-Joe Pires, Jean-Philippe Collard or Mikhail Pletnev, and knows that they are the guarantee of the highest interpretation quality. The "50 Best Relaxing Piano" collection brings a cross-section of the most famous pieces from Baroque to Classicism, Romanticism to the 20th Century, but the main focus of the recording is mainly in the slow piano compositions of 19th century romantic composers, as well as the overall relaxing tuning of the compilation.
