(5 out of 5 stars)

"I don't have the technical capacity to give this CD the honor it deserves. I came to it knowing little about Rubinstein, the Composer, and even less about Zora Mihailovich? All I can say is I find the recording, the compositions and the playing stunningly, stop me in my tracks, beautiful. The sonorities are right up there with Chopin, in my estimation. I have to wonder why this composer has been, if not neglected, then at least pretty well passed over by contemporary critics, concert organizers, etc. Yes, maybe there is a certain datedness to the music in some sense. Very Romantic and something one's grandma would have loved, but hey! I loved my gran and her piano playing (she excelled at ragtime, actually). This is perhaps the finest parlor (Scott Morrison would say "salon" perhaps?) music I have ever heard.

As for Ms Mihailovich, she skips nor trips over nary a beat. I again plead ignorance in not knowing about previous recordings of these works, but if there is a better interpreter out there I would welcome emails of such. She is simply one of the most marvellously expressive pianists I have ever heard, and believe it or not, I've heard quite a few.

Highly, unreservedly recommended to neophytes and hard liners, alike!
