I can always reccomend Rubenstein when listening to any Chopin. Rubenstein, Polish himself, was a lifelong exponent of Chopin, in his full romantic expression. There are a few extraneous noises I can’t explain, but they are in no way obtrusive. The piano benefits from the SACD treatment…no tininess in the upper register. You can hear Rubenstein breathing, and even some of his fingers hitting the keys are audible. The stereo presented is the original mix, no remixing. The multichannel tracks use the front 3 channels only. The original 2 or 3 track analog masters were used. This is from the “Living Stereo” series by RCA, now re-released on SACD. Can only hope for more Chopin here in the future. The sound here is slightly better than that on the Rubinstein Collection, but still better. If you like Artur Rubinstein’s Chopin, then this is a disc to get.
