I too like this one for Technical disply:But for good listening I like Nocturne Op.9-2. I guess because of the flowing melodic line and I enjoy playing it....Also Etude Op.10-3 "Chanson de L'adieu " is a favorite

The nocturnes. If I have to choose, then the op9 set.
It's almost impossible to pick just one, but I'd probably go with one of his ballades - in f minor. Or with his c# minor etude op. 25, or the two-four waltz, or...

OH Art - yes, of course the Noctures are just sublime. No other composer wrote so beautifully for the piano with such a diversity of styles whilst still keeping the essence of his homeland firmly seasoned on each pearl.
anything if its played by Oscar Levant!!

That was refreshing. Thanx for the link, CMB.
Oscar Levant is a revelation to me ... I need to broaden my horizons, seemingly. CMB, thank you soooooooooo much for the link: exquisite playing.
Enjoyed the performance. Very talented fellow.THanks
I wish you the Best for each day, now and always.

Impossible to pick just one...but I think that Ivan Moravec is one the best Chopinists out there, at least on recordings.
mathetes - love your Bach/Ellington signature, so deliciously contrasted.
Why, thank-que sir--
Andante Spianato and Grande Polonaise Brillante - A most perfect gem by Chopin.
Hey Corno - yes, the Andante Spianato is great - I agree (as is the grand brilliant polonaise).
