Reviews
Arthur Rubinstein was the 20th Century's most influential exponent of Chopin's music. But genius doesn't operate on an assembly line basis, and Rubinstein's gift for Chopin largely escaped him when these recordings were made.
Rubinstein was generally more at home in the larger Chopin works, where broad narrative sweep and Rubinstein's instinctive understanding of musical architecture served him well. The shorter pieces, such as the Etudes and Preludes, were more tricky for him–perhaps the reason why there are no authorized recordings of the Etudes (except the Trois Novelles Etudes) and only one complete recording of the Preludes. In this recording, from the late 1940s, the Preludes are dispatched in a rather perfunctory fashion, with very little individuality or poetry. Music lovers looking for these small masterpieces on CD are best advised to obtain recordings by Bolet, Argerich, Cortot, or Cherkassky.
The Sonata, Op. 35, is played well enough here–although Rubinstein tends to pound in outer sections of the Scherzo. The pianist's 1961 stereo remake is to be preferred here. There is an equally fine recording by Horowitz (1962, Sony) and the mightiest version of all, Rachmaninoff's (1930, BMG).
The other performances on this CD are fine, but the stereo versions are still to be preferred. The mono sound throughout is rather hard and airless. (Hank Drake on amazon.com)
