This review is from: Artur Rubinstein: The Chopin Collection (Audio CD)

Rubinstein and Chopin go together like chocolate and peanut butter. Rubinstein knows all the right moments to bring out the best in Chopin's piano music. On the "Impromptus" collection, he alternates between aggresive flourishes and gentle brush-strokes, always calling on the appropriate style for that perfect interpretation. Someone new to the Rubinstein/Chopin combination may want to start with the "Ballades," "Polonaises," or particularly "The Nocturnes" collections, but this should be an easy fourth choice.
