Chopin's nocturnes could well have been written for the voice, their beautiful, lyrical melodies unfolding with a magic that few composers for piano can match. Arthur Rubinstein understood their childlike wonder, his playing refreshingly, charmingly simple. The bell-like tone of his right hand soars artlessly over subtle accompaniment, and everything is delicately pedaled, tempos just so. Bask in Op. 15 No. 3 or Op. 27 No. 1 to hear the mastery of Rubinstein's control: fortes never growl, pianissimos are exquisite. And the elegant ornamentation in Op. 32 No. 1 shows a stunning technique at the total service of Chopin's timeless music.

    This is what I love about classical music

    Posted by John on 8th Mar 2022

    This is what I love about classical music - beautiful, poignant and memorable. Hats off to Rubinstein for interpreting and doing justice to the greatest Romantic composer ever.

    I am a man of emotions. I yearn for those moments of complete surrender to the flow of life, the bittersweet transience of times gone by. This album reminds me of that...I cried ocelot tears.

    Beautiful music

    Posted by Alison on 8th Mar 2022

    This is the kind of collection that can bring people into the sadly neglected area of classical music. As a pianist I have always loved these nocturnes and the interpretations here are stunningly beautiful. An album that I know I will return to over and over. The perfect wind down,beautifully flowing which means it works as background music if you are working or better still as music to immerse yourself in if your mind is free.
