For anyone interested in a single introductory disk with a fair variety of
Chopin's music (at least as much as will fit in a single disk!), I would
recommend an Artur Rubinstein performance from 1964 on the Russian
Revelation label. It's available quite cheaply at Berkshire and contains the
following (shamelessly copied from their web site):
Chopin, Piano Sonata #2; Polonaises Opp. 44 & 53 {'Heroic'}; Impromptu #3;
Barcarolle Op.60; Nocturne Op.27 #2; Etudes Op.10 #'s 4 & 5 and Op.25 #'s 1
& 5; Waltzes Op.34 #'s 1 & 2. (Artur Rubinstein, piano. Rec. 10/1/64. Total
time: 78')
I recently purchased this disk andhave enjoyed it very much.
I'm also intrigued by the Jonas and will seek that out as well.

Followup: I've ordered the Jonas and Rachmaninoff recordings, and will
also get some Rubinstein and maybe Argerich or Moravec. Lots of great
info in this thread.
Though I knew that Rubinstein was a big name in Chopin, there is no way
I would have zeroed in on Jonas and Rachmaninoff through my own
research in stores and catalogs. This newsgroup is an invaluable
resource.
