Jakob Gimpel plays Chopin Nocturne in E Major Op.62 No.2

A 1970 concert performance of Polish pianist Jakob Gimpel playing Chopin's Nocturne in E Major Op.62 No.2. This unpublished recording was shared with me by the pianist's son and it is made available here for the first time (check my YouTube channel for other Gimpel performances, including two more from this recital).

In this reading, we hear Gimpel's beautifully forged singing line, mindful pedalling that never obscures the texture or line, and incredible nuancing (notice the spaciousness of his timing at transitional points between phrasing and how he adjusts dynamic levels as well) - and if you listen closely you can also hear Gimpel humming along a bit with the performance.
