Rubinstein Plays Chopin: Polonaise op. 53

10 Jan 2024 | Arthur Rubinstein plays Chopin's Polonaise op. 53 in A-flat major at the infamous Moscow recital on 1. October 1964

Surely this is the greatest performance of this piece on film; it is energetic, passionate and bombastic like no other with a deep nationalistic undertone and incredible sensitivity.
