Most soloists who performed with conductor Fritz Reiner said that it was a tremendously stimulating experience. Apparently that was true of Rubinstein, who made his best recordings of both of these works with Reiner and the amazing 1960's Chicago Symphony. Nearly everyone knows the Second Piano Concerto, but the Rhapsody isn't quite as famous. It should be. Inspired by Paganini's famous violin tune (also varied by Schumann, Brahms, and Lutoslawski, among others), Rachmaninov wrote an extremely ingenious and expressive piece, which really is a set of variations by another name. Rubinstein always had the technique and the extroverted temperament for this music, but in his collaboration with Reiner, he also played with a kind of powerful discipline that even further enhanced his interpretation. These are among the finest versions of each of these pieces, and also among the greatest glories of the Rubinstein discography. As usual, the Living Stereo recordings reveal even better detail and presence than they did on LP. --Leslie Gerber, ISBN13:B000003FKS ISBN10:B000003FKS Material Type:audioCD
