This 1964 recording of Rubinstein's performance of Chopin's final version of the "Fantasie Impromptu," is a jewel. I have placed Rubinstein's 1951 recording of Chopin's first draft of this composition,which everyone plays despite the fact that it was not Chopin's final finished work,on YouTube.

  • @Alquatari The slow section is in D flat.

  • @Alquatari piano is tuned a few steps lower...

  • One of if not the best artist to play Chopin. Such grace this man conveys...I still have the Rubinstein Impromptus CD I bought 23 years ago.

  • 432hz

  • @Alquatari You are right it doens't sound tunned in 440 it's a little lower than that. Thumbs up for your ear!!!!! Funny, people kept insisting in saying the tone of this piece written regardless to the tone that it sounds in this recording.

  • well too bad no matter what you say... rubinstein is still considered the bestchopin player ever

  • Valentina Lisitsa, are you kidding me? Not to take anything away from her artistry, however, Rubinstein can't be touched. Listen to the beauty he acheives in the slow section, perfection of rubato and inevenitability. Also, the way he handles the finale, the dramatic and structural clarity.

  • @kzelmer I meant Valentina Igoshina :-)

  • @Pilpellon

    No. Rubinstein is Rubinstein. Valentina Lisitsa cant be compared to Rubinstein in any sense.

  • Sorry Arthur, but Valentina does it better
