7. Chopin: Largo, Prelude No. 4 in E minor (Samson Francois)
Samson François gives a superb reading of this heart-wrenching bit of Chopin. One of his most famous and moody piano pieces, it was requested by Chopin himself to be played at his own funeral. Pop artists from Serge Gainsbourg to Radiohead have cited this piece as an influence.
