A 10-CD set featuring eight original albums and top-notch bonus tracks by the greatest pianist of the 20th century, Arthur Rubinstein, performing works by Chopin at the height of his mastery. The recordings collected for these 10 CDs secured Rubinstein his place in the “Hall of Fame” of the greatest virtuosos of our time. From his debut as a thirteen-year-old in Berlin until his last appearance in 1976 in London, he had given several thousand concerts and made more than 700 recordings. “Rubinstein's tone never seems weak, even on the piano he has a full sound. Its tone has a base that allows for power without sounding harsh when loud. These impressive tonal qualities are especially highlighted in his interpretations of Chopin. Rubinstein's infallible sense of rhythm (for example, in the mazurkas), his ability to let the piano 'sing' (the nocturnes are a good example), his unique gift, the ability to marry the feeling and awareness of the form (clearly discernible in the concertos, scherzi and ballades) – all these give his interpretations of Chopin a singular status.” (From Ingo Harden / Gregor Wilmes: “Pianistenprofile”, Bärenreiter Verlag). The recordings on this 10-CD collection offer the best evidence of this.

10 CD box set featuring eight original albums and top-class bonus tracks from the best-known pianist of the 20th century, Arthur Rubinstein, performing works by Chopin at the height of his mastery. The recordings collected together for these 10 CDs assured Rubinstein his place in the "Hall of Fame" of the greatest virtuosi of our time. From his debut as thirteen-year-old in Berlin until his last appearance in 1976 in London he had given several thousand concerts and made more than 700 recordings. "Rubinstein's tone never appears feeble, even in piano is has a full sound. His tone has a base that allows power without sounding hard when strong. These impressive tonal qualities come to the fore especially in his interpretations of Chopin. Rubinstein's unerring sense of rhythm (for instance in the mazurkas), his skill in letting the piano 'sing' (the nocturnes are a good example), his unique gift, the ability to marry feeling and awareness of form (clearly discernible in the concertos , scherzi and ballades) - all of these lend his Chopin interpretations a singular status." (from Ingo Harden/Gregor Wilmes: "Pianistenprofile", Bärenreiter Verlag). The recordings in this 10 CD collection afford the best proof of this.
