Fryderyk Chopin a fost un compozitor polonez și virtuoz al pianului din perioada romantismului, care este considerat „poetul pianului” și unul dintre cei mai importanți compozitori din istoria muzicii. A devenit renumit aproape exclusiv pentru compozițiile sale pentru pian, în care a combinat o expresie profundă cu elemente de muzică populară poloneză.
Albumul 72 Preludes pe 2 CD-uri prezintă colecția completă a preludiilor lui Chopin – 24 de piese op. 28, 24 de piese op. posth. și alte preludii. Înregistrarea include celebrul Preludiu nr. 15 în Re bemol major „Raindrop” și alte repere ale literaturii pianistice, care captează întreaga gamă a puterii expresive a lui Chopin, de la meditații lirice la pasiuni furtunoase.
