| This early collection of Chopin by its ultimate master is a superb, moving collection of Chopin's best. Many have claimed that Rubinstein's early recordings of Chopin are more virtuosic than musical. Nonsense. Listen to the nocturnes and many of the mazurkas and you will be moved. The scherzos have a visceral impact (especially the third) that cannot be matched by anyone, not Horowitz, not Argerich. THe sound quality leaves more to be desired but other than that, this is the best recording in terms of sheer raw pianism and musicality of this music. Superb! |
