CD ReviewsMy Desert Island Disk Larry Lapidus | Spokane, Washington | 01/07/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "This performance of the Brahms 2 was one of the first LP's I ever purchased. That disk has resided on my shelf since 1958, since which time it has been joined by more than 10,000 others, not to mention CD's, tapes, etc. Were I able to take only one of these thousands to a desert island, it would be this one, for in it I would be able to find all that I love in music: warmth, wit, elegance and beauty. The piece has been often recorded, and justly; but no performance has, or ever will equal this. The culture which produced these two great musicians also produced Brahms, and that culture is gone forever. Anyone seeking to experience its finest qualities need look no further." Majestic reading of this enormous concerto. Larry Lapidus | 10/16/1998 (4 out of 5 stars) "Arthur Rubinstein always understands the long line and probes deeply into the music. There is a majesty and nobility that comes through in his reading of this concerto. The orchestra accompaniment is well matched. The slow movement is poignant and leaves one wishing to listen again to it alone. There are many readings of this great concerto, but few as well balanced and polished as this one by Rubinstein." Marvellous! Larry Lapidus | 11/17/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "I'll never understand why critics like Richter, Gilels and Arrau's reading of this Concerto better than Rubinstein's. The others might be better "thinkers", but that's why Ruby is so great: he needs no thinking!"
