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.
