Customer Review: At less than $30, this has to be one of the greatest bargains currently out there. For many lovers of Chopin and piano playing, Rubinstein's late 1950s/early 1960s RCA survey is the Bible. Undoubtedly, it contains some godly Chopin playing. However, there is too much unevenness and lack of drama for... more info
Customer Review: I have had this collection for about 3 years, and keep it in my office so I listen to it while I work...a lot. I listen to other stuff too, but often the Bach is what's spinning on my CD player. I have listened to every CD in the collection at least 3 times (I know because when I first got it I... more info

Customer Review: writing a review of this seems fairly inconsequential, if I projected negative-isms would that dilute the lines of receipts? or interest?, I would not only be required to apologize for negative quips, but seek counseling,for some pathological illness, some cognitive mis-firings within my listening... more info
Customer Review: Mozart's piano sonatas are like listening to ice cream. They are just music. And I mean this in the most positive sense. Mozart's good artistic taste manifests itself in being profoundly unpretentious and self-effacing. As Raymond Chandler said, "There is no great and important art; there is only... more info
Customer Review: I was expecting this to be true to its title"Meditation".
Though nice it's really just a random selection of music
not necessarily soft or meditative.
