The Art of Piano - Great Pianists of 20th Century

Artur Rubinstein

Nvc Arts, 2002

Well worth the view of the truly golden age of piano
A most excellent DVD and I would highly recommend as an equally excellent adjunct to this DVD with regard to the era and its rather well known names, "The Golden Age of the Piano" with commentary by David Dubal. In this way you have additional film media input on ...

The Chopin Ballades & Scherzos [Hybrid SACD]

Frederic Chopin, Artur Rubinstein

RCA, 2004

As Good As It Gets
Rubinstein was in his prime when these versions of the Chopin Ballades and Scherzos were recorded in 1959. Curiously, although this was his third version of the Scherzos, he had never before recorded the Ballades. Rubinstein was temperamentally well suited to these ...

Arthur Rubinstein: Ludwig Van Beethoven Piano Sonatas

Ludwig van Beethoven, Artur Rubinstein

RCA, 2000

spine tingling great performances
I put all these sonatas performed by Rubinstein along with the same ones performed by Van Cliburn and Rudolf Serkin onto a dsic and have enjoyed listening and comparing. Today I put together a Rubinstein concerto disc and had almost 25 minutes of filler space at the ...

Rubinstein Collection, Vol. 12

Emanuel Feuermann, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

RCA, 2001

Great stuff, but allow for the age of the recordings
I'm glad I never encountered this Archduke trio recording in an LP transfer. A couple of generations of listeners were probably frightened away from pre-stereo recordings by inadequate transfer technology. I read somewhere this performance is "justly famous" but ...

Arthur Rubinstein - Chopin 19 Nocturnes (Vol. 49)

Frederic Chopin, Artur Rubinstein

RCA, 2000

An Antti Keisala Comment: Chopin Divine, Saddest Music In The World
Sometimes we feel we're unspeakably down: nights when you're exhausted by your daily routines and the dreamer in you wakes up in vain. Some people read romantic short stories. Some go to have long walks on the beach. When I'm blue, I either go running or watch Wong's ...

Rubinstein in the indian summer of his career

Grieg, Chopin & Saint Saens Piano Concertos / Previn, Rubinstein, London Symphony Orchestra

Artur Rubinstein, London Symphony Orchestra

Deutsche Grammophon, 2006

Great DVD
This is one, very special DVD on virtually every level. It should go without saying that the performance of Rubinstein is superb, and considering he was 89 when this film was made makes it even more extraordinary. His performance, however, is even further enhanced by ...

Rachmaninov: Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini; de Falla: Nights in the Gardens of Spain; Chopin: Grande ...

Frederic Chopin, Manuel de Falla, ...

RCA, 1997

Brilliant performance, excellent recording
Rubinstein and Reiner produce an excellent recording of Rachmaninov's Rhapsody. The piano is clear, the orchestra is strong but not overwhelming, and the disc sounds great in all respects.

Chopin:Rubinstein Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 [Hybrid SACD]

Frederic Chopin, Alfred Wallenstein, ...

RCA, 2005

reference recordings
There are a number of fine couplings of the Chopin concertos in the catalog, however, so highly regarded were these Rubinstein recordings that for decades they were the standard by which all others were measured. Have they been superceded? Maybe, but they have a strong ...

Ludwig van Beethoven, Artur Rubinstein, ...

RCA, 2001

Superb Beethoven from Rubinstein and Szeryng
Arthur Rubinstein received his early training in a manner totally foreign to today's young students. His early teachers were Joseph Joachim (a close friend of Johannes Brahms) and Heinrich Barth. He was permitted by his teachers to give only occasional perfomances, ...

Rubinstein Colection, Vol.37 - Grieg: Piano Concerto in A Minor/ Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1

Edvard Grieg, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ...

RCA, 2001

Dry Grieg and Relaxed Tchaikovsky
Rubinstein unashamedly loved the Grieg Concerto, dismissing many pianists' claims that it was "cheap stuff." When stereo recording became available, he was eager to record it with Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony. However, a fallout with the irascible conductor ...
