    Performers:
    Arthur Rubinstein (piano)

    Review:

    Kreisleriana and the Fantasie in C are two of Schumann's most virtuosic, yet intimate, large scale piano works. Rubinstein, with his legendary mix of brio and poetry, would seem tailor made for these pieces. Alas, these are among the blandest performances of these youthful works I have ever heard. Rubinstein was always known as a more exciting–if less accurate–performer in public that he was in the studio, where the need for a note perfect "product" sometimes hampered his sponteneity. This seems to have been the case here. It is worth noting that the Fantasie, recorded in 1965, was not released until 1980, which seems to indicate Rubinstein had misgivings about the recorded performance contained herein.

    For those wishing to aquaint themselves with these works, I recommend Horowitz (Sony, 1965) and Kissin (BMG/RCA) in the Fantasie, and Horowitz (Sony, 1969; DG 1985–both recordings radically different but equally well worth having) and Perahia (Sony) in Kreisleriana.

    No complaints about the sound, which captures Rubinstein's golden tone.
