Spotlight on the Artists

Frédéric Chopin

La Dame aux Camelias
Chopin's music featured in the beautiful ballet

Please note: I was unable to find a decent recording on YouTube of Chopin, so I instead used the ballet La Dame aux Camelias, which features his music, instead, and has a very better interpretation than some of the others I have listened to.

I also apologize if the video is rather dark. This was recorded in either 1970 or 1980, so YouTube's poor video quality and size compression makes it look worse.
