Sämtliche Chopin-Aufnahmen für die Deutsche Grammophon (5CD + Blu-Ray Audio)

Format: 5CD + Blu-Ray Audio Set

Martha Argerich has been an outstanding Chopin interpreter for decades. Reason enough for Deutsche Grammophon to release all of the exceptional pianist's Chopin recordings for the yellow label in a new audiophile edition on the occasion of her 80th birthday on June 5: the 5-CD + 1 Blu-ray audio set "Martha Argerich - Chopin" In addition to her complete studio recordings, it also contains some radio recordings from the 1960s. With the exception of the audio-technically unsuitable duo recordings with Mischa Maisky, all studio recordings for the Blu-ray Audio were remastered and are now in stereo DTS-HD MA 2.0 24 bit / 192 kHz and Surround DTS-HD MA 5.1 24 bit / 96 kHz before and a fascinating Dolby Atmos remastering (24 bit / 48 kHz).
