Info for Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 1

Artur Rubinstein's elegant 1954 recording of Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor with Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is a bona fide classic from the earliest days of stereo; this sumptuous album has been available for decades and has earned a permanent place in RCA's catalog.

It reappears here in the high-resolution audio format and sounds cleaner and more detailed than ever before; yet the advanced technology only goes so far and this recording may disappoint audiophiles. Because RCA has carefully preserved its Living Stereo master tapes, it is relatively easy to reproduce and render a terrific ADD version.

In essence, this is glorified stereo with remarkable presence -- one feels quite close to Rubinstein, and the CSO seems only feet away -- but there is no additional surround sound depth. For the sake of authenticity, this is just as well, and Rubinstein and Reiner at least are not misrepresented through creative engineering.
