Oh! This Piano Concerto was recently performed in our city, I thought it was fantastic. :) I agree, the dramatic chords were quite memorable.

I have a fondness for Russian composers, even though a lot of people don't seem to like their styles.

Okay but why listen to Hamilton when you can listen to anything by Stephen Sondheim and get an intellectually stimulating experience

/sickburncorner

I'm not entirely serious but I don't actually think Hamilton is as smart as everybody keeps saying it is and the music is lazy

Pianist Da Sootopolis

I feel like Rubinstein is underrated as a technical player. Here he is belting out the Chopin B flat minor prelude in less than a minute more or less successfully, and yet I see him criticized all the time for not recording the etudes.. (though he played many of them and it's documented and available on YT).

Anyways, for your listening pleasure..



What I'm ACTUALLY listening to (better playing of Rubinstein IMO):

Rubinstein gets kind of hammy at times, I feel. But he's still a great performer of Chopin.

How do you mean?

I agree he's not perfect, and definitely has his faults, but I feel he gets kind of overlooked for the new players, for example Daniil Trifonov (who's very good with most of the stuff he does but not so much with Chopin).

With individual pieces, there are often times better individual recordings, but I find that on average, he's nearly impossible to beat (probably the only one close being Krystian Zimerman IMO).
