5.0 out of 5 stars Reproduction of vintage playing is superb, October 3, 1999

Not many of us can afford this collection of some 94 discs but you couldn't ask for a better introduction to one of the greatest piano players of all time. The remastering makes the sound as fresh and alive as it was when these pieces were first recorded.It's as if Rubinstein were recording today with 20-bit fidelity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction to Rubinstein, June 14, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Highlights from the Rubinstein Collection (Audio CD)

For a small entry fee of $[money], you get an absolutely excellent introduction to Rubinstein. If you can't afford the $[money] box set, this one CD will guide you in choosing specific CDs in the 94 CD collection that interest you. The 60's recordings are fantastic, and the 40's and 50's recordings are better than any other 50-60 year old recordings I have heard.
