Negative Positive
Title: Rather uninspired
Review: A rather uninspiring, boxed vision of arguably the best of romantic piano music. Everything is predetermined and calculated. If one finds 5 minutes of decent piano playing on this CD one should be happy. The lack of natural talent for music is obvious with this pianist. Particularly, that there are so many other phenomenal recordings of this repertoire, also from EMI catalog. One wonders why would EMI release something like that?! On the other hand, it seems that EMI took a step in the right direction: no new releases of this pianist are seen on the market. Looks like Ms. Rubinova's "star" is not there to "shine". The good news: one uninteresting pianist less! Rather, Martha Argerich or Murray Perahia, to name a few. This CD is NOT RECOMMENDED!
