Nobody interprets in such a way in present age. Such a poetry and naturalness in his musical language and his way to express phrases, with a few wrong keys in between. Contemporary records are perfect in that issue but lack of meaning more or less.

Stunning - his tone is gorgeous - his phrasing high art and his dynamics stupendous. The single note at 6'50 and the next 30 seconds are sheer tonal magic. Regards-John.

Lack of meaning,you have expressed the just phraseª! contemporary pianists ssem to have been focused exclusively on technical issues.-...they are sound computers...not human souls struggling for love,life and passion...

How he brings out the grief in No. 6, a piece easily turned into chopped salami by armies of second-year students..........

time travel music of the best by listening to people born in 19th century...free time travel and only a few take part in those trips to other times well so at least the train back is not too crowded thanks to zombie apocalypse where the rests of ancient people have ears but dont hear, have eyes and dont see... i always wonder how get them back into life...if even these recordings dont work then i dont know what else can help them...

Amazing tonal colors drawn from these magnificent Chopin masterpieces. He really allows the piece to shine in a way modern pianist almost would NEVER dare to imitate. The mistakes are in recognizable and minute compared to the shear virtuosity and passion shown here

what beauty of tone ,color and frasing,I love Rosenthal. The way he played the 1st concerto (youtube!) moves me to tears

Wikipedia. Moriz Rosenthal (December 17, 1862 - September 3, 1946) was a Polish pianist,born in the Austro Hungary empire . He was an outstanding pupil of Franz Liszt and a friend and colleague of some of the greatest musicians of his age, including Johannes Brahms, Johann Strauss, Anton Rubinstein, Hans von Bülow, Camille Saint-Saëns, Jules Massenet and Isaac Albéniz.

This is really very special, such limpid phrasing, an insight on what the composer actually intended with regard to tempi as well. The A Major prelude as short as it is, is simply a little gem, also paced and breathed beautifully. Thanks!!!

I love these so much. Can anyone recommend anything better? I think these are the best performances of these preludes I’ve heard...

He did the Henle E flat years before that became "all the go"!

This is great to listen to. The man plays incredibly sensitive. I miss that in many pianists of today, but certainly not in all of them!

Back in days when life was full of magic, tenderness and strength.

Amazing!

wonderful upload, thank you very much

This is eleganc!

Thanks for uploading these.

Yes, yes, but the C minor is ghastly: the opening bashed (it's only forte), with wrong notes to boot and the 'melody' double-dotted. Yuck. For the best of Rosenthal, listen to the Ab Etude (posth.) Thanks for posting!
