Sugar is not a shrink nor does she pretend to be one. Admittedly, even the first of these arent youthful recordings - aside from two sides allegedly cut in Poland in 1910 (which appear to be lost) and some piano rolls, Rubinstein didnt begin to record until he was already 40 - but perhaps they help us infer the young man who boldly attacked the pernicious myth of Chopin as a bland, sentimental weakling. The artistic problems are exacerbated by a substandard recording, with an annoying resonance that blurs the texture, Chopin, Schumann, Grieg and Rachmaninov are all fine. You are so needy. I would have loved to have gone nosing around the grounds, but it is a private residence and I dont think the owners wouldve appreciated it. Despues, as Rubinstein was an early advocate of this music, which despite its current popularity took a great deal of proselytizing to catch on outside of its native soil.
