Chopin

Combines scenes of Scotland, Paris, and war-torn Poland with excerpts from the Waltz in A Minor opus 60 no. 2. Prelude no. 15, Revolutionary Etude, Polonaise in A-Flat, Nocturne in C-Sharp Minor, and Mazurka opus 56 no. 2, as played by Tamas Vasary. Features Artur Rubenstein and the Orchestre de Paris performing the Second Piano Concerto and concludes with the Dumka Duo playing the Sonata for Cello and Piano opus 63, Chopin's last published work.
