A Great Country CD.......2005-11-21

I found this cd at my local Dollar Tree, and since it was only a dollar I decided to buy it. I stuck it in my cd player and by the end of this first song I was hooked. This cd is worth WAY more than 1 dollar. It is some great country music, with great country singers, with some NFL players that can ACTUALLY sing! This is some of the best country music you will ever find! Buy this now!

NFL meet HIP HOP & Soul.......2004-09-28

Not the Ra Ra songs you might associate with the NFl or any sport events. Music tracks are slow rap & soul. Very nice if you are into this music and some rare tracks by famous artists. Not available new by AMAZON so make sure if you buy to buy from a high rated Market Place Seller. ALWAYS Read Feedbacks left for the Seller before you buy.

A diamond in your collection.......2004-10-05

This is one of my most favorite collectible albums, among S. Richter in Prague; C. Arrau: Complete Beethoven sonatas and concertos; Les introuvables de Cziffra; Oistrakh collection....In this box set, you not only have Mstislav's wellknown plays (like Dvorak's concerto, Beethoven's Triple concerto, R. Strauss' Don Quixote, R. Schumann's concerto...), but many plays dedicated to Rostropovich. There are some dedicated concertos and sonatas which hard to find in the market: Shaporin's pieces, Toyama's concerto, Lev Knipper's concerto, Boris Tishchenko's concerto, Dmitri Kalevsky's sonata...). This is a chance for you to have a wonderful box set of one of the greatest artist of classical music.

I also recommend other famous albums of M. Rostropovich: Slava 75, Beethoven complete cello sonatas (played with S. Richter), Cello Concertos (R. Gagneux' Triptyque, R. Shchedrin's Sotto voce concerto), and Shotakovich complete symphonies.

Chopin, Beethoven, Shostakovich --exquisite.......2004-09-28

There was much in this collection which did not particularly appeal to my musical tastes.

BUT

CD 8 has the greatest performance in history of Beethovens Triple Concerto (Rostropovich, Oistrakh, Richter, Moscow Philharmonic, recorded in Great Hall of Moscow Conservatoire).

CD 12 -- pieces with pianist Alexander Dedyukin -- has the most beautiful version ever of Chopin's Cello Sonata (op.65). This piece makes Jacqueline Du Pre's performances fade into utter insignificance.

I lent my Beethoven cd to someone who shall remain nameless, may they burn in hell. It didnt come back.

An ex girlfriend has the Chopin cd. She wont admit it though.

These two CDs are the only ones from the collection which EMI refused to release individually. Thank you very much EMI...

Other cds have some smaller pieces which were just exquisite also -- David Popper's Dance of the Elves (also with Dedyukin on piano), and Shostakovich's cello sonata op 40 (with Shostakovich
himself on the piano). Just amazing.

A Lot of Marvelous Cello.......2002-11-26

13 discs, all Rostropovich. The performances are collected thematically ("Short Pieces", "19th & 20th Century Non-Russians", "Benjamin Britten", "Concertos" etc) rather than chronologically, and in general probably have something for everyone somewhere in all the music, whether it be the chance to hear Rostropovich in a single movement of Beethoven's Triple Concerto, or to hear for the first time the comparatively rare works of Tishchenko and Ustvolskaya being performed. The fact that the pieces are a collection of what was available (what survived as master tapes in Moscow after Rostropovich's departure from the Soviet Union) is fortunate and unfortunate at the same time--one wishes the collection was more completist, in spite of being 13 discs long.

If you've never heard Rostropovich, then this is probably an expensive way to start, but still might be well worth it. Rostropovich is an exciting performer who usually can smoothe over his lapses in taste with sheer exuberance. His playing, which is both full of virtuosity and intimacy at the same time, has a way of persuading you with its own aesthetic, even if, upon reflection later, you realize that in some important way Rostropovich has "betrayed" the original sense of the music. I'm resorting to tenuous metaphors. I should say that Rostropovich is not at all a kind of Glen Gould on cello; the cellist's eccentricities don't have Gould's audaciousness at all. Rather, the same kinds of quirks that have earned him demerits (or acclaim) as a conductor are present (more subtly) in his cello playing as well.

Personally, I bought this collection for the obscure Russian composers it showcases, and was not disappointed. Throughout, the performances are uniformly sharp, natty, stylish...I keep wanting to use the word exuberant again, though not a naive exuberance. The liner notes, while extensive, are also almost all entirely anecdotal, being reflections by Rostropovich himself on some of the personal aspects of each given performance.

Lots of marvelous cello here, with a one star demerit owing to the piecemeal nature of the collection.

a true collector's item.......2000-04-04

Perhaps the most staggering aspect of this collection of CD's is that many of them were recorded live, and you won't know it until you hear the applause at the end of a track. Rostropovich, or Slava as he's usually known, recorded many of these pieces as premieres. The tapes lay in archives for years, and he thought he'd never have access to them. When he was allowed back into Russia, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, he was able to listen to the old tapes, choose which ones he thought were the best, and oversee the production of this set. It's staggering. Even if you only listen to the "easy" parts on these albums, like Don Quixote, the Shostakovich sonata (with the composer at the piano), the Prokofieff sonata (at its world premiere), the Rococo Variations, you'll get your money's worth. If you're more adventurous, and dip into all the contemporary Russian music, you'll hear these works as only the composer could imagine them to be played. Rostropovich at his best, the music at its best, a unique look at a world now nearly gone, a true joy to own!

Essential recordings.......2007-05-02

Nobody in what concerns the Russian repertoire for cello, has been capable to match with Rostropovich. He had not only the unerring technique, but besides he was owner of that special Caucasian style, wild and rough absolutely necessary ion those performances.

For those cello' s lovers this album is an absolute must in all the meaning of the expression. So, don't hesitate for a second and go for this extraordinary compilation,. The edition sound is outstanding, and the quality level is formidable.

A retail price of $1,600 for a box set? Granted, it's not something most of us can afford. But, for piano buffs and fans of Artur Rubinstein, this mammoth limited-edition 94-CD set might be an investment to consider. For starters, BMG has collected all of the approved studio recordings of Rubinstein (including 200 or so that have never been on CD) and added a handful of previously unreleased recordings and some interviews. The lot has been remastered for this collection using the latest technology (RCA's disc-and-a-half Highlights sampler actually showcases some of the more dramatic remasterings)--a good thing, when you consider that many of these master tapes have a lifetime's worth of surface noise. You get a lavishly illustrated book with essays and photographs and a nice case to store the works; everything but the credit plan is included, really. Of course, it's up to you to decide whether you want 706 recordings of 347 pieces played by the same great pianist. And, though owning Rubinstein's three complete cycles of Beethoven's concertos might sound tempting, will you really listen to each of them? Probably not, but if you need 'em, here they are. (His Chopin cycles, on the other hand, you will listen to repeatedly!) It's easily one of the most impressive and comprehensive box sets that classical music has seen: a true career overview with excellent remastering and handsome packaging that reflects the collection's price tag (unlike some box sets that are just that: CDs in boxes). Do you need it? Probably not. Will you want it? You bet. --Jason Verlinde

There were greater talents........2005-05-30

I must confess that I hate Rubinstein's sound as a pianist, but his dedication and verve were notable. Think though of Claudio Aurru's gifts, remarkable... I feel that to love Rubinstein one must love a world of safe emotional borders and sameness; sorry A.R fans. jb

This Is No Lesson in Economics..........2004-10-10

It is a natural tendency when reviewing items in this price-point to contemplate cost-effectiveness first and foremost. Considering that CDs have no nutritional value and cannot keep kids off crack, I am uncomfortable recognizing, much less crossing, some line in the sand where space ordinarily reserved for record-reviews must yield to amateur musings on the evils of conspicuous consumption or macroeconomic conceptions of social justice. Let's assume for the moment that this box set is free, removing from our purview the materialistic thrill or global economic blight one might seek and/or wish to stave off in purchasing it.

Rubinstein's "official" recorded output is astounding. It spans 5 decades, and encompasses significant forays into the oeuvre of dozens of composers. Though technique is generally expected to decline with age, few pianists live to be 96 years old. Rubinstein the pianist and Rubinstein the musician reached their highest collective summit when Rubinstein the man was well into his 60s. The "late-bloomer" aspect of his career places a considerable quorum of his most polished recordings squarely within the stereo era. Some of this material had made its way onto CD prior to this release, most notably his Chopin. Unfortunately, Rubinstein's well-deserved public acclaim as Chopin's supreme torchbearer unjustly limits his reputation along "expresio unius est exclusio alterius" lines. For example, though Rubinstein chose to record only a small handful of Beethoven sonatas, it is doubtful that one might hear them better played, even by his Beethoven specialist contemporaries Schnabel and Kempff. Rubinstein also ardently championed French and Spanish music, and is said to have loved performing Brahms most of all. This release places many of his most accomplished recordings before the ears of the listening public for the first time since their original release on vinyl.

I am frequently intoxicated by the earliest recordings from the 30s and 40s. Some of them, like his first traversal of the Chopin scherzi, are bite-your-nails-til-they-bleed thrilling. On the other hand, the initial limitations of the recording process required this (and every) pianist to make bothersome compromises with respect to tempi and dynamics at times. Ultimately, it comes down to personal taste. I am more consistently drawn to Rubinstein the wise-master than Rubinstein the young Turk.

RCA invested undisclosed sums of time and money into restoring, remixing, and remastering all of the recordings for this release. Some of the earlier recordings have been available on CD for quite some time (e.g. Chopin's Op. 28 Preludes, the Ormandy/Philadelphia Grieg concerto). Despite the intervention of acoustical restorationist-par-excellence Ward Marston, the remastering undertaken in the course of this project has not dramatically improved the sound on these releases. Short of traveling several decades into the past and placing more sensitive microphones in more strategic locations, there was probably little else that could have been done. Marston's brilliance is far more obvious in restoring to near original luster many deteriorating tape recordings from the late 40s and early 50s. The stereo recordings also sound fuller.

I am pleased with my purchase because having access (and, most importantly, having listened to) all of these recordings is a moving experience. It allows me to contemplate this extraordinary artist as a man, whose performance is inevitably colored by the accumulation of experience, the expanding flexibility of the recording process, the onset of maturity, and (perhaps sadly) declining physical powers. There are multiple recordings of most pieces in this collection, but I rarely find it difficult to cull a favorite among them. At this point, I play some of the records frequently, and others rarely. If your aim is to hear Rubinstein at his best, this set provides the resources you need to make what are at turns obvious, and others hopelessly personal choices. This set includes detailed (and mostly newly written) liner notes for each record as a well as an engaging hardcover book providing no fewer than 3 complete indices to the recordings (by date of recording, Composer, and Volume number). The box itself is a work of art, looks stunning on a shelf, and never requires polishing. Most of the 81 volumes are sold separately, and have been made available for download on the Apple Music Store.

While I will not claim that Rubinstein's interpretations are equally effective, I cannot think of any other pianist, now living or forever deceased, who could approach such a broad repertoire with the unwaivering technical finesse and prophetic musicianship evident in the bulk of his recorded output. If you never see the likes of a "Rubinstein Collection" on the shelf again, do not dismiss it as another textbook illustration of price elasticity. To do so is to dwell on on the vagaries of consumerism when the more important issue is that the next Rubinstein may never be.

CLASSICAL MUSIC AT ITS MOST EXPENSIVE (AND BEST).......2003-05-30

You have two choices: Starve the kids or skip the mortgage payments for a month or two. How else can you afford this 94 (!) disc set that captures every studio recording the classical icon ever recorded. Trust us: The kids are fat enough.

It's actually not so expensive.......2001-06-06

Provided you have the time, listening to this collection not only helps you better appreciate Rubinstein's supreme talent but also gives you some idea of his unfolding genius--how his technique and interpretation changed through the years. There's enough room in music for every kind of interpretation, as long as you take the music first, and all the interpretations Rubinstein offered are interesting. Of course this set is expensive, but it's nearly 100 CDs plus liner notes, so the price is not that bad. Besides, if you decide to really listen to this set the way it deserves, it's going to be years before you buy another CD.

A Superb Reissue.......2000-04-30

A friend of mine was able to aquire the Rubinstein Collection and I have been borrowing from it liberally.

RCA deserves to be commended on going the extra mile and releasing ALL of the authorized Rubinstein recordings, well organized and superbly remastered in this comprehensive edition. Hopefully, RCA will also release the individual volumes for those who are not completists or who simply cannot afford the entire set. True, this set is at full price. A source who was connected with this reissure has told me that RCA planned to issue the set at mid price, but the cost of this mammoth edition went far overbudget--and the full price was dictated by their production costs. Certainly, the money was well spent. The ramastering, particularly in the earlier recordings, must be heard to be believed. The packaging, documentation, and liner notes are all first class.

It is fascinating to trace Rubinstein's evolution as an interpreter--from the devil-may-care early days through the mature recordings of the 1950s, into the 1970s, when his playing on record tended to be a bit cautions.

Hopefully, the cost of producing this magnum opus and the reported slow sales it has been getting will not deter RCA from producing more boxed sets of Horowitz and many of the other artists in the RCA vaults. Bravo, RCA!
