the best was jan ekier's interpretation of this polonaise. imo of course. but i heard interpretations of most worldclass and polish pianists and i think ekier played it better than any other pianist (its on vinyl version of the 'complete works'released by polish radio[chopin played by greates polish pianist before zimerman], on cd there is czerny-stefanska's version also played very well but not so good as ekier).

Very good performance, better than the one he gave in the actual concert, in my opinion!

i would love to find a pristine tape - with audio to match. i'm sure there are some tapes out there in russia, recorded from audience - they seemed to be very okay with that in the old slave state.
