Chopin - Nocturne Op. 27 No. 2 (Rubinstein)

Comment : Chopin touches my heart in a way that no one else can. And I consider Rubinstein the most gifted Chopinist ever. The combination never fails to move me to tears. The respect, the understanding that Rubinstein brings, the tenderness, the emotion, free of all attempt to impress.... I think it's a glimpse into the hearts and souls of two of the greatest artists this world has ever known.

If you ever go to Warsaw, you have to go to Łazienki Park on Sunday for the Chopin concert.

Much as I like the D-flat from Op. 27, I think the A-flat from Op. 32 is a stronger piece. Liszt orchestrated it.

Chopin: Nocturne in A-flat, Op. 32/2

Rubinstein at the keyboard.
