Anton Rubinstein occupied an uneasy place in the history of Russian music, largely because of his
Jewish origins and the perception of him as a 'German in Russia'. In recent years his solo piano
music has begun to be re-evaluated. This album focuses on the series of works written in the mid-
1850s and reveals music of charm and flair. The Three Pieces, Op. 16 are conventional in form but attractive, and the Two Pieces, Op. 28 contain a strongly contrasted Nocturne and Caprice. More ambitious, and intended to be performed in his concert repertoire as one of the greatest virtuosos of the age, are the Six Pieces, Op. 51
Tracks:
Three Pieces, Op. 16 (1855)
Three Caprices, Op. 21 (1855)
Two Pieces, Op. 28 (1856)
