The Nocturnes

by Frédéric Chopin / Artur Rubinstein

The Nocturnes cover art

Artur Rubinstein’s stereo recordings of Chopin emphasize a remarkable fluidity of tempo and delicate dynamic shading rather than rigid precision. His acoustic touch brings a natural, unforced melancholy to these pieces, capturing the romantic essence of the nocturne form without slipping into excessive sentimentality.
