Chopin wrote mazurkas throughout his all-too-brief life, using this Polish dance as the basis forshort pieces that encompass a world of harmonic explorations and varied emotions, from thesubtly comic to the intensely sad. Rubinstein plays the 51 in the standard canon, skipping theunpublished youthful ones. Of his three recordings of the set, connoisseurs tend to prefer hisfirst, from 1938-1939 (available on RCA, EMI, and Naxos) for their spontaneity. But these1965-1966 stereo recordings in refreshingly alive transfers can't fail to please most listeners.They're a bit weightier than the early ones, but the added depth and Rubinstein'scharacterization of each piece yield big dividends. In the great C sharp minor Mazurka, Op. 50,No. 3, for example, he plays the beautiful opening theme with disarming simplicity that invests itwith mournful regret, manages the transitions to bolder statements flawlessly, and turns acharming dance into a dramatic tone poem that says in five minutes what some composersneed a full symphony to say. That miracle is repeated often in this set, as Rubinstein appears atfirst to be underplaying a piece until you realize the sophistication of his carefully modulateddynamics, gentle rubato, and varied tone. His was an outward simplicity that hid complex art.Throughout, he plays with a wonderful, singing tone, rhythmic life, and an aristocratic authorityfew have matched. ---Dan Davis, amazon.com
