CD Reviews

Rubinstein at his worst

Hank Drake | Cleveland, OH United States | 03/12/2000

(1 out of 5 stars)

"I cannot imagine Artur Rubinstein ever consenting to the release of this disc, considering how selective Rubinstein was about his recordings (fans would eat their hearts out if they know what remains unreleased in the RCA vaults). The concert begins with Beethoven's "Appassionata" in a performance so sloppy, disjointed, and filled with memory lapses that one wonders how Rubinstein didn't just give up and go home then. Naturally, the audience goes berzerk over his gallery playing. Things go downhill from there. There is gusto and fire in plenty here, but little in the way of technical control. The video has the saving grace of allowing the viewer to actually SEE Rubinstein in action, but the CD lacks that. The sound, taken from a videotape of a 1975 recital in Pasadena, California, is very poor. RCA has done a grave disservice to Rubinstein by releasing this disc."

Ruby's Fire Still Burning

Hank Drake | 12/26/1998

(5 out of 5 stars)

"One has to listen to the last concert for Israel a few times to fully grasp the intensity that Artur Rubinstein put into this album. The frailty of old age doesn't slow him down at all and it is one of his true "live" recordings. You can tell the audience was an awe of the greatest pianist that ever lived."
