  • Anton Rubinstein Quartets Build on Beethoven

    Apr 27th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Anton Rubinstein, CD Review, Chamber music, CPO, Reinhold Quartett, Romantic period

    Anton Rubinstein was considered one of the greatest pianists of his age. But what he really wanted was to be a high-regarded composer. This album features two of his Op. 47 string quartets, composed in 1855. Thanks to the legacy of Beethoven, the string quartet was considered the summit of chamber music, just as the […]

Shortly after his death, Rubinstein’s […]

    Apr 16th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Anna Shelest, Anton Rubinstein, CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, Estonian National Symphony Orchestra, Neeme Jarvi, Romantic period, Sorel

    In the 19th Century Russia, one composer towered over the rest. It wasn’t Tchaikovsky, any member of the Might Five. It was Anton Rubinstein. Rubinstein was prolific, and one of the first to assimilate Western musical tradition into Russian composition. Rubinstein was a piano virtuoso (among other talents), and his five piano concertos were the […]
