The first volume of a projected complete recording of Rubinstein's music for 4‐hand piano.
Anton Rubinstein was a legendary pianist in the 19‐th century, admired by Liszt and even the young Rachmaninoff. As a pianist he tirelessly toured Europe, his fame spreading widely. As a composer he was equally tireless, composing a substantial oeuvre of practically every genre. His creative roots were, despite his Russian origin, in the German Romantics Mendelssohn, Schumann and Liszt.
Rubinstein's works for piano 4 hands are high quality salon music: picturesque tone painting, romantic and idyllic, with an occasional touch of Russian folklore. An exception is the Grande Sonata, which is of substantial length and content, dramatic and powerful.
Excellent performance by one of Italy's foremost duos, the Duo Pianistico de Firenze, who also wrote the extensive liner notes.
Tracks:
Oboe Concerto in F major, BWV1053
Oboe d'amore Concerto in A major, BWV1055
Concerto for Oboe & Violin in C minor, BWV1060
