Synopsis

Amazon.com

Artur Rubinstein's 1956 Beethoven concerto cycle lacks the forethought and stylishness of his '60s remakes with Leinsdorf. These earlier versions, however, convey more of Rubinstein's irrepressible stage presence. At times the pianist's freewheeling spirit in the First and Fifth Concertos causes momentary finger slips, which matter not one whit. Rubinstein's unruffled demeanor and languorous phrasing in the Third and Fourth Concertos, though, are better suited to Chopin. One might prefer a less deferential conductor than Joseph Krips, who doesn't challenge his soloist's rhapsodic lead as often as he should. The filler sonata, a longtime Rubinstein specialty, is a tad sluggish and studio-bound in this 1954 effort. --Jed Distler
