Beginner here. Always been frustrated by way radio hosts, who presumably have studied music, talk about it on air and, also, the way it is discussed at large. It is a very limited and uninformative vocabulary, a lot like the way we talk about food: adjectives and metaphors (the key sometimes), but nothing technical. I assume that anyone with even a slight background in music could absorb more than that what we are given. Just toss out one point that a pro might make about this performance. OOS.

The world is full of fantastic chopin players. U idiots would not know the difference between this and any conservatory graduate.What a holes love to pretend that they even know the finer points at this level.If u havent studied at the top level U azzes dont even know what u are hearing . blaah blaah.Impress yourselves little kids and adolescents who have read few stupid books.Learn to think for your cat brain selves!

The similarities between this & the later recording are easy to notice the doppio movimento has more subtlety later ,the phrasing infinitely more shaped. Some things in the presto sections don't change at all . More exacting finger work in later traversal! Rubinstein's technique really was not a Backhaus or Bartok caliber in the early days. His Italian recs show this patently .

thats an absurd statement,... gieseking was german, and payed french composers such as debussy and ravel better than most,....

[MrDesperateArtist]

he was a polish,, he understands chopin more than any pianist in 20th century.

JAJAJA! You don't have any idea...

[annebrackman]

whaha nice sound =p

[bandong1234567890]

well... great pianists in his time were so younger than him like horowitz and richter and pollini and arrau. those are the ones he meant by "young people" dont forget that Rubinstein is much older than them.

De acuerdo! Siempre ha sido para mi un pianista favorito...desde casi la primera vez que le esuche. Tiene su corazon cierta nobleza, o sea gallardia, que parece haberse desaparecido del mundo de la musica. Algo antiguo. Algo mas puro, desafecto.

Siento mucho que mi conocimiento del portugues no alcanza a permitirme a responderle esa bella lengua.

Muito bom! Muito completo. Grande expressão, técnica, interpretação etc. Por isto é um dos melhores de todos os tempos...
