Description:

In this collection of nocturnal poems, Rubinstein has delineated the dangerous line between sentimental, self-righteous indulgence and the flight of poetic inspiration. In this collection, which offers a bird's-eye view of Chopin's life from the relatively simple pieces of his early years to the complex, rapidly modulating pieces of his later years, Rubinstein not only polishes each piece, but is also attentive to the shifts in style. The result is a performance that can even be called an eloquent summary of Chopin's life. Sony Music
