Customer Reviews:
The ultimate interpretation
The ultimate way to apreciate the work of Chopin. powerful then again delicate. Sublime piano by Rubinstein. Curacao, apri1 14th 2008

Must Have Rubinstein
In an age when there were few exceptional pianists, Rubinstein came to maturity after his marriage and 40th birthday - and fortunately his best work was recorded by RCA in America. Here’s the Chopin you must have in a collection. Still brilliant by today’s standards and still the Master.The Chopin Collection

The Reference for Chopin
This is the collection for the ages. It has the best repertoire I had ever wished, and the quality of sound is excellent, knowing that the recordings were made in the 55’s-65’s period. I am fully satisfied with this product, for Rubinstein’s interpretations are superb and the reference for all the pianists and audiences in general: They are emotive, harmonic, delicate and masterful. –USEFUL–: The last disc is Mono (recorded 1946), so it has poor quality sound. The disc is the one of the Pr?ludes Op. 28, and as an annex it contains the repeated and older recordings of the Barcarole Op. 60, the Berceuse Op. 57, and the Sonata Op. 35 (these pieces come in the Stereo discs too; i.e. repeated recordings). I do not miss the Pr?ludes, so for me it is OK. Also this collection does not have the ?tudes Op. 10 or the Op. 25. So if you want the Pr?ludes and the ?tudes to be in your colection, think buying this product twice. But if you do not care that much, buy it.

Melodic. Romantic. Beautiful. Perfect…almost
As mentioned by other reviewers - Rubinstein was the best interpreter of Chopin. Period. Even for the non-trained, amateur ear - other performers just do not sound as the grand maestro. Chopin obviously needs a professional in order to be fully enjoyed.

I find it amusing and even ironic that the best Chopin interpreter - Rubinstein - was a Jew, while the composer was known to have some anti-semitic tendencies…

The only problem with this collection is that it contains several less than perfect recordings. But then the performance is so good that one may forgive this minor inconvenience. And to be honest the majority of the CDs are excellent.

Very melodic, extremly romantic, perfectly performed and almost an excellent recording. GREAT BUY !

One for the ages
Perhaps no other pianist is so indelibly linked to one composer’s music than Artur Rubinstein is to the works of Chopin. One might think of Glenn Gould & Bach, but even the renowned Canadian virtuoso’s recordings of JSB are not held in such high esteem as Rubinstein’s Chopin catalog. Rubinstein has such an affinity for this music,and performs the works with such a master’s touch, that the listener immediately developes an especially affectionate bond with this marvellous 11-cd set from RCA Victor.These performances are some of the absolutely great treasures in the history of recorded music. They have such a wide appeal that they instantly become a must have for your cd library, made all the more tempting by the super-bargain price offered on this re-mastered box set.

Highly recommended & definitely not to be missed!
