Chopin's timeless melody with an elegant aftertaste.
Rubinstein's warm touch infuses Chopin's melody with a gentle light, creating a masterpiece that portrays the beauty of the waltz with flowing naturalness.
Rubinstein's performance is soft and enveloping, with the breathiness of the phrases flowing naturally. The fluctuations in tempo and the intervals between notes are beautiful, gently conveying Chopin's poetic sentiment. Rather than boasting technical skill, he expresses the warmth of the music itself, quietly captivating the listener. The recording quality is also excellent, with the piano's sound possessing deep nuances. A timeless standard for Chopin performances.
