Sonata for Piano no. 14 in C-sharp minor, op. 27 no. 2 "Moonlight": I. Adagio sostenuto

~ Recording by Arthur Rubinstein

Annotation

The two different "Rubinstein Collection" releases give only 1962 (April 6, NY) for the recording (CAA archive)

I guess the 1963 date is wrong and comes from other recordings (e.g. sonata no. 23) often found on the same releases
