Arthur RubinsteinpfLos Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra / Alfred Wallenstein; NBC Symphony Orchestra / William Steinberg. At 7'59" Chopins flame-throwing interjections are volcanic, and if theres ample poetic delicacy and compensation (notably in thePolonaise-fantaisie, always among Chopins most profoundly speculative masterpieces), its the more elemental side of his genius, his cannons rather than flowers that are made to sear and haunt the memory. No 4, so often tossed off as a finger sprint (Richter, Cziffra), is given room to breathe while still being playedprestoandcon fuoco.

He inclines to the accepted view that Chopins large forms have a plot that culminates in a tumult or a whirlwind of activity. Finally, in the evergreen E flat Nocturne, Op 9 No 2, Tharaud may be less enchanting than, say, Cherkassky but it is also a salutary reminder that Chopin was the most classically biased of the great keyboard composers.

Whether or not Kolesnikovs new disc will suggest to everyone the apotheosis of the mazurka, for me these performances are the most beautiful and strikingly original Ive heard.
