Editorial Reviews
Eddie Galleno, La Nacion, April 30, 1999
"In this brilliant execution, Jelasic captures and transports us with his rare art to the imaginary musical world of Chopin, which is difficult to find in other recordings of his [Chopin's] music. With profound technique on the piano, when Jelasic plays Chopin, he makes us clearly feel the composer's expressions, times, passages of his life, and personality."

Album Description
Those already familiar with these wonderful "dances for the soul" will delight in this extraordinary interpretation. Those not well acquainted with these waltzes will find them passionate, inspiring, and dazzling. A master of his instrument, Mr. Jelasic's refined, patrician touch; innate musicianship; and Slavic soul combine to create this most rare and penetrating performance.

Customer Reviews:

A masterful performance.......2000-08-19

James Jelasic's stirring performance of Chopin Waltzes is the finest I've heard. His voiceing technique combined with a precise execution of the music makes this one of the most listenable works I own. Open a bottle of wine, find a comfortable leather chair, and put on this CD. You won't be disappointed.
