As this CD is presented without digital "fix-ups" or computer alterations, it stands as a bold and daring version of Chopin's Etudes.

In addition, John Rusnak was among the Top 10 most downloaded keyboard artists on eMusic.com in August, 2005. A reviewer on eMusic writes about John Rusnak's Chopin Etudes: "Passion, Sturm und Drang, true romanticism. It does not get much better than this." The third track of this innovative disc, "Opus 10, No. 3 in E Major: Lento, ma non troppo", was featured on the WB Network TV show "Smallville" in 2004/2005, beginning the episode "Bound". Rusnak's playing of Chopin's etudes was also featured in the Showtime movie "Down Came a Blackbird", and in the USA TV series "Highlander". Along with the Chopin Etudes, pianist John Rusnak's CD of Bach's Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 on Visionmark Records (VM-7271), was also recorded live in studio without digital editing.
