Chopin: The Piano Works

Since the late 1990s, the Decca and Deutsche Grammophon Collectors Editions boxes have sold millions of units worldwide: they are a staple of the Universal Music Classical catalog. After more than a decade, Decca & DG have revamped the line with a new look, new content and new booklet essays. Each set is designed to look like a letter or parcel and is a unique gift “package.” Rather than just re-issuing previous sets, new content (including many recordings not currently available) has been made available at a discount price and many of the 2010 anniversaries have been celebrated.
