It's interesting how I can enjoy this piece in two very different ways; this is the fastest I've seen K. 540 played, Claudio Arrau played it in 16:44 (nearly half the speed of Horowitz). Arrau's take is so slow that it brings out all these deep, pensive, almost-ominous vibes but it almost puts me to sleep; Horowitz just runs right through it in a sort of Cliffs' Notes take.

Singer David Coffin is his grandson.

goddddddd

Crystal clear!

I compared this with Samson Francois, and even this is enough to dismiss this Rubinstein take, who is great with the Nocturnes. But even better _(in a different way than the highly original Francois)_ are Idil Biret, Evgeny Koroliov, Janina Fialkowska and, of course, ABM. Try a direct comparison, Mazurka by Mazurka, as I did and you will see.

Bravo !

To fast for my taste . I prefer Alfred Brendel .

Rubinstein ! Et Rachmaninoff aussi …!…

Tohle byl prostě house

Somehow Rubinstein manages to make this piece sound like one of the greatest masterpieces ever written....Superb performance!!

You cant just like mozart you have to love it

Uma das mais belas composições do meu querido e muito amado Mozart ❤

This song says everything that I’m feeling right now. It doesn’t help that it’s 11:49pm.

Too heavy. 136 is not suitable for a full orchestra. Also rushed.

My first time hearing this recording was while sitting in Vance Reger's home in Winston-Salem, NC. He was one of John Mack's true oboe protege in so many ways. Vance was on faculty at the NC School of the Arts. Changing the subject: People today don't understand how there are SO many differences between live and recording. All concerts are recorded by the house engineer with his microphones for the weekly radio broadcast with the chosen best of the 3 performances. Other than that.... what you heard was what was played note for note. Cleveland during this era in particular didn't get its due acknowledgement due to Epic's subpar recordings. Chicago was the luckiest and then Detroit with the Mercury label. It had little to do with the actual music making but the clarity of the sound captured more completely than Epics dry and muted sound which is NOT how Severance Hall sounds. The only other recording was the first direct to disk digital recording of the Cleveland Winds with Fennell. I am SO glad I went to CIM in the mid 80s.... the art of color and blending from all and many of Szell's bowings created the rich sound from his strings working in absolute unity. It has nothing to do with solo-is-tic playing. So many good memories.

Great music,great Mozart❤❤❤

Perfection!

I got the Peter and the Wolf/NYP/LB album when i was 5 , when i was 6, i got the Rossini/NYP/LB album. I am now 60 and i get goosebumps to the same degree that i did as a shorty. Nobody, but Nobody, comes close to the chemistry that they had at taking grreat music to the next level of the heavens. Thank God for the Columbia Record Club!!

good setup

Nice

The last measures, the most profound reassurance regarding Teleology to find in music, perhaps!

Aber s'war nicht von Mozart gemacht, Adagio, in Wirklichkeit; es war von ein Spekter gemacht, ein sehr guter...!

Between this and Chopin’s preludes alone: Rubenstein is the greatest musician of all time. No subjectivity about it!! 😅

Hermosa obra y excelente interpretación

Believe it or not I just discovered this today. The music that is not the video. I was listening to my favorite Austin Texas classical station and heard this music while love is riding home from work on my electric scooter. I kept saying to myself that sounds like Rossini and when I got into my apartment the host confirmed that I was right. Along the way I said I really like this and I would say now that I have discovered another favorite piece! 😸

Wonderful composition! Full of energy and charm.

haffner o posthorn? posthorn

What happened to ''Adagio''? It is not marked Allegretto! Need I say more?

Ads IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MOVEMENTS NOW? You can’t even wait to put them between the movements? I don’t know what’s more impressive, your greed or your stupidity!

I have never heard this version before, my favourite has always been Beecham. Bernstein’s New York days were magic. This is absolutely fantastic! Cheers from Australia.

Gorgeous. Now, where is the KI to spread the stereo spectrum from this mono recording?

Mám originální CD i kazetu :) Za mě je ale asi úplně nejlepší z této serie House party 10, to je prostě strop :)

Delicioso, vivaz finale!

Good music 🎶 for dancing 🕺 🎶

This sound equipment sounds great. I can attest to that as I listen to it on my €10 Logitech speakers. Ads for new HD TVs on my old TV.

that picture of Mozart at 1:02 is ludicrous

Ужасно фальшиво звучит. Грязный тон

Dieter Goldmann is one of fictitious artists (pianists and conductors) created by the fraudulent producer and conductor(??) Alfred Scholz (Alberto Lizzio).... who knows how old are all those recordings and who are the real artists.... and none knows if Scholz with all those pseudonyms was a real conductor or not...

8:25

Magnificent interpretation by a real Giants of the podium!

Que impertinente la publicidad.

"Comes Along-A-Love" 7:56

Janis was always a fine musician but in this early period (1952)he was still channeling his teacher Horowitz’s massive tone and coiled phrasing. Listen to the G minor Ballade from the same Columbia record. Sadly, Janis didn’t record another Chopin album until forty years later by which time, despite debilitating arthritis that limited his repertoire, his identification with Chopin - by his own account - was almost mystical. Yet even ten years after this 1952 album, Janis had ripened. Listen to the B minor sonata from a remarkable 1964 Salt Lake City recital posted on KZbin as well as a French documentary (in English) on Chopin, Altogether a great and heroic artist.

I think Karl Bohm with the VPO is better.

I love this piece. However, I have to be careful not to drive while this is playing. If listening to music I walk or drive to it. While this does have some very ethereal moments it's mostly a very intense driving beat. Yeah, my little brother still has nightmares about me driving him to school that morning weaving in and out of traffic listening to this.

Far too fast. I’m very surprised! Not at all a sensitive performance. So rushed.

Do you know if Stanley Drucker is playing at 5:56 ? So beautiful...
