I've been listening to the Chopin mazurkas by Rubenstein during my commute
during the past two days. I bought this two-disc set used, and I have to
believe it's part of the Rubenstein collection that's available anywhere
else in the world. But I can't tell for sure, as the notes are in
Japanese!
This is glorious music, but I sometimes find myself wishing for just a
little more oomph in some of them. Well, if that's the worst I can say
about it, it must be a good disc.
