>Do you recommend any particular pianist?
That is the eternal question here, isn't it? Depends how you like your Chopin, but to start off, I'd recommend Ashkenazy (he's recorded everything I named I believe), Pollini, Arrau and Lisiecki for slower pace.
Those are in general. Otherwise, and usually, it depends on the work. Like if you wanted to listen to The Nocturnes, I'd probably recommend Hough's (who also has recordings of the Ballades, Scherzos, Waltzes, and misc. late pieces).

If you wanted the Four Ballades, the standard recommendation here is Zimerman's masterful performance

You'll get the hang of it. Generally you can't go wrong with just listening to whatever is highly acclaimed, the best recordings and performers rise to the top in classical usually, or at least to some minimum level of fame. For example, let's say you search "chopin nocturnes" on Amazon (in the CD & Vinyls section), pretty much anything you see on the front page or so is gonna be good, or at least worth trying and see how you feel about it.
