Put it in the closet for a couple of years if you must. Who knows, you may find the recording's quality acceptable as your sonic/musical preference changes over the years.To my ears it was recorded well enough to let me hear the unique delicacy and purity of his playing (unfortunately I can't say the same for his Schumann piano concerto, and it doesn't get as much playing time as it deserves...). I really love listening to his subtle change of pace and just the right length of pauses that always make chopin sound fresh and involving.
