Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arthur Rubinstein's stereo traversal of Chopin's nineteen Nocturnes was his third complete recording of the set, following mono cycles from the 1930s and from 1949-50. Produced by Max Wilcox with engineer Sergio Marcotulli, it formed part of his decade-long project to record nearly all of Chopin's solo piano music.
