Werner Haas' programme of Chopin's 14 Valses, released in 1959 by Decca Records France, is a beautiful and masterful collection of some of Chopin's most beloved works. The valses, composed in the 19th century, are known for their graceful melodies and elegant phrasing, and Haas' interpretation captures these qualities perfectly. From the sweeping grandeur of the "Grande Valse Brillante" to the delicate beauty of the "Valse in C-sharp minor," Haas' performance is a showcase of his technical prowess and musical sensitivity. The album also features Haas' stunning rendition of the famous "Minute Waltz," which he performs with dazzling speed and precision.
