The Études by Frédéric Chopin are three sets of études (solo studies) for the piano published during the 1830s. There are twenty-seven compositions overall, comprising two separate collections of twelve, numbered Op. 10 and Op. 25, and a set of three without opus number. They are some of the most performed works in the piano repertory, and hardly need any introduction. These sublime works are beautifully performed by Polish pianist Diana Jaworska. Born in Poland in 1968, Diana Jaworska now lives in lives in Southern France, where she teaches the piano, performs concerts, makes recordings, and composes her own works.

Roman Jablonski is considered one of the best cellists in the world. The born-in-Gdansk musician can boast a great artistic biography based on performances on the most prominent stages in the world, successes at competitions and festivals, a list of recordings including over 20 items, as well as the recognition of international critics and years-long didactic activity. The latest by Professor Jablonski features a programme composed of masterpieces of the Polish cello music, from works by Fryderyk Chopin to contemporary pieces. Among them, a prominent place is occupied by Witold Lutoslawski's compositions, with whom Jablonski cooperated closely for many years.
