Cold War-era child prodigy/pianist Van Cliburn waltzes through Chopin's greatest hits with intensity and precision. These balanced performances walk that subtle line between excessive melodrama and emotionless frigidity. The "Winter Wind" etude feels especially effortless and haunting.

There are many interpretations of Chopin Etudes. All major pianists of the second half of the 19th century included them in their repertoires. Of special interest are the interpretations by the young pianists of today.
