Editorial reviews
Darren Henley, director of a major UK radio station, endeavors to bring classical music into the modern age with these mini-biographies on important composers. Here, he describes the life and work of none other than Frederic Chopin. Chopin combined elements of Polish folk music and the classical traditions of Mozart, Bach, and Schubert to create stunning compositions for the piano. Marin Alsop's performs the piece with clarity. She doesn't employ distracting techniques; she lets the details speak for themselves. Instrumental interludes written by Chopin add depth and variety. History and music fans will certainly enjoy Darren Henley's entire series, Famous Composers and More Famous Composers.
