Fou Tsong - Complete Westminster Recordings

Limited edition 10CD set

The Westminster label legacy of a master Chopin interpreter, issued complete for the first time in an 'original covers' box of new remasterings. Almost half a century before Lang Lang, the pianist Fou Ts'ong took Europe and then the US by storm. With his third-prize finish at the 1955 International Chopin Competition in Warsaw, listeners and critics alike were astonished to encounter a mature and seemingly instinctive feel for the uniquely Polish rhythms and passing harmonies of Chopin's music, under the fingers of a 21-year-old from Shanghai.

This set brings together his complete Westminster recordings, ranging from Baroque music through five Mozart concertos, Beethoven and Schubert sonatas, to his poetic accounts of the music of Chopin.

An Original Jackets Limited Edition.
