Arthur Rubinstein - Polonaise Fantaisie In A-Flat Major, Op. 61 download song

Otherworldly beautiful, Rubinstein brings out the noble character of this masterpiece. Where other great pianists go astray and play too fast or incoherently, Rubinstein sculptures the music in a monolithic way. A truly great performance.

The best of human race

If it is indeed his favorite piece then you can tell how deep he gets into the music and how he flows with and whithin it. Chopin would be proud!

I owned this album way back then. It made a huge impression on me. So many bittersweet memories.

Listening to this late at night as the rain pours down is warm.

Feels like painful romance. To me it related to a lover I just had to leave, but your heart still aches. As I type this the last note leaves me hung up, wanting more. Of her, and the music we made.

(1) following the title means there is a (2), which there is of the final 3 minutes. Many pieces are cut like that due to a limit of 10 minutes. Enjoy the climax.
