A collection of excellent performances that fully demonstrate Rubinstein's performance techniques at the height of his maturity.
This performance, the fruit of his deep musical understanding and outstanding technique cultivated over many years of experience, fully expresses the poetic beauty of Chopin's music. His emotional expression in Ballade No. 4 in particular has become a model for many pianists. This masterpiece is regarded as one of the most important recordings in the history of classical music.
