Does any one know of good DVDs or books regarding classical music, or piano that one must have?

A DVD named 'The art of piano' that features some of the greatest pianists in the 20th century.

How about Roman Polansky's The Pianist. The story is heart-warming and Adrien Brody actually learnt how to play the piano and the first couple of bars of Chopin's 1ère Ballade. It's great movie for a Chopin buff (even though there is relatively little piano playing in comparison to the length of the movie).

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
