***FULL COMMENT: SEE THE FIRST PINNED COMMENT***
Arrau's performances of Chopin have always been somewhat controversial, as he emphasizes the drama and turbulence in the music, using more fluctuations in tempo than some critics prefer. We can do no better than quote Arrau's own words on interpreting the Chopin Preludes in a discussion with Joseph Horowitz in Arrau on Music and Performance.

CA: As I say, I never think of them as single pieces. They answer one another. When I finish one of them, I need to play the next. In a way, they are a survey of Chopin's cosmos. Alternating light and shade.

JH: I recently heard a tape of a performance you gave of the preludes in Los Angeles in 1969. And in some instances you went directly from one prelude to the next, without a break, without any silence in between. That doesn't occur on your recording, because the engineers have inserted bands.

CA: It reminds me a little bit of the connections between movements in late Beethoven. One movement erupts, in a completely different mood, out of the one before it. In Opus 109, for instance. Or Opus 101.

JH: Which preludes do you usually begin without an intervening silence?

CA: The B-flat minor [No. 16]. Also the D minor [No. 24].

JH: Could we go back to the First Prelude and talk about some of the preludes individually?

CA: The First Prelude is definitely an introduction. An intensely dramatic introduction. It's over in half a minute or something. And it puts one in a certain tense emotional situation. It has something to do with sexual energy, this prelude. There's something positively orgasmic about it.
