Title: Rubinstein Plays Tchaikovsky and Grieg
Review: This recording of the Grieg Concerto (Rubinstein's second in stereo, and his second collaboration with Alfred Wallenstein in the work) was one of his favorite recordings. It remains one of my all time favorite recordings of this composition as well, and the remastered sonics are beautiful--they always were! The BSO collaboration with Leinsdorf in the Tchaikovsky does not seem as impactful as when first I heard it. One reason, I think, is that the remastered sonics are not quite as successful. The performance, too, strikes me as a bit more reserved than I once thought it. Nothing wrong here, and a Cd well worth owning.
Is the review positive or negative?
