Rubinstein’s recordings of Chopin’s Nocturnes are among the world’s finest recordings of this repertoire. On 2 CDs in excellent remastered sound quality “Wonderful, astonishing, incomprehensible, however, seems not only technical clarity of his playing, [also] the touching, in slow movements heart-stirring felicity of his phrasing, the stormy temperament of his outbursts. All this weighs a lot, wants to be conquered, preserved and kept alive.” (Joachim Kaiser) “In Chopin, Rubinstein becomes a magician of timbre, nuance, and the indispensable Rubato. These are sonically the best recordings of his Chopin series on RCA.” (Penguin Guide) |
