The guys in the photo I think include Adolph von Henselt and Sigismond Thalberg also perhaps Pixis pianists contemporary with Chopin and Liszt. The Hexameron variations I think has contributions from all of them.
BTW (nothing to do with the inerpretation): have a look at the picture at 8.06 ! Anybody noticed the "punky" hair style of the 19th-century musician sitting in the middle of front row with the moustache?

I adore Martha but his piece belongs to Artur Rubinstein as does the Barcarolle and the Nocturne in c minor opus 48 #! Even though she is Latin, her Teutonic touch, technique, so fitting for the Russian and German masters lacks a softness need here..................... but she is awesome ..................
Nonsense about the "Teutonic touch"! That touch didn't seem to hamper her from her capture of the Chopin Competition through her entire career. As for Rubenstein or anyone else "owning" a particular work, all I can say is "Poppycock!" There's plenty of room in music for various interpretations -- that's part of what makes music an art!
you are right the more I listen to the Polonaise I like it.................................. I do prefer the Barcarolle of Rubinstein above all others. I wonder if Guiomar Novaes recorded it. I have a lot of her Chopin and love it.
I'd love to hear Novaes do it. I grew up listening to her Chopin recordings and wish I'd had all she recorded. I agree: Rubenstein's performance of the Barcarolle is heavenly -- and so are his Ballades. They're still my favorite recordings of those pieces.
