Chopin’s Best Works

Chopin favourites by candlelight, a recital for solo piano by Aldo Dotto. These concerts are “a series of classical music concerts aimed at democratising access to classical music by allowing people all over the world to enjoy live candlelit music performances … by creating intimate experiences where fans can connect directly with their favourite artists”. The specific plus is illumination by thousands of candles, with a programme that does indeed look quite inviting (even if “best” does set the bar rather high; at these prices a high bar is the least you can expect for a one-hour show).
