A masterpiece by one of the greatest Chopin players of the 20th century.
Elegant touch and deep emotion.
Although this recording was made in Rubinstein's later years, his performance is surprisingly fresh, with grace and warmth in every note. He brings out the full melodic beauty and lyricism of Chopin's polonaises and nocturnes, sometimes gracefully, sometimes passionately. This is a work that embodies the reasons why it has long been beloved as a classic classical piano recording.
