Truly amazing!, October 8, 2003
A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Original Recordings of the Pianist (Audio CD)
Perhaps one of the best pianists of the century plays the music that saved his life...
Highlights are the Bach recording, which is thrilling and brilliantly played, and the two (count them!) recordings of Chopin's nocturne. Played with tons of emotion--keep in mind this particular piece saved his life--the last recording especially is truly heart-rending.
For anybody who's ever heard a piano and liked it, or for any classical music person, this is an absolute must. I listen to it over and over, and never get tired of it. It's unfortunate he didn't record CDs and CDs and more CDs of stuff I could go out and buy. You need this CD.
Even if, like me, you have yet to see the movie.
And a special thanks to the Polish radio people, who salvaged these for our immense delight in listening!

By A Customer
This review is from: The Original Recordings of the Pianist (Audio CD)
This is an 'enhanced' cd.
CD includes a video of Szpilman performing Chopin's Nocturne C# Minor (1980).
Insert is full of photos with a brief life history.
