About

Arthur Rubinstein's last concert in Poland: a unique album from The Fryderyk Chopin Institute. Renowned for his performances and recordings of Chopin's oeuvre, Arthur Rubinstein performed in Poland for the last time in his hometown of Łódź, in 1975.

The programme featured Chopin's F minor and Beethoven's E flat major Concertos with the Łódź Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Henryk Czyż. As an encore, Rubinstein played the Chopin Polonaise in A flat major, with which he bade farewell to his homeland and home town. In this way, he also closed an extraordinarily important chapter in the history of Polish pianism.

Half a century later, The Fryderyk Chopin Institute are proud to present this special two-disc archival concert recording in order to recall those extraordinary moments of elation and artistic emotion.
