rubinstein vol.2
This is the second volume of three devoted to the great pianist, Artur Rubinstein. While volume one focused exclusively on Chopin, this second volume features piano concertos by Chopin, Grieg, Saint-Saens, Schumann and Tchaikovsky. The remastered sound is excellent, and Rubinstein has never been in better form. I've collected almost 25 volumes in Phillips' "Great Pianists" series, and this is by far the very best. Any lover of classical music should consider this CD essential to their collection.
