 | | The life of Rubinstein was truly consecrated to music, and through music to his fellow-creatures. | | | In my much-prized interview with Rubinstein, during the period of his concerts in Philadelphia, in the season of 1872-1873, he spoke of Rubini, and told me how he had passed hours in listening to this Italian tenor's voice, with its purity, sweetness and power, and in trying to reproduce its timbre in his playing. | | | Here and there he encountered groups of excellent musical amateurs, but music as a profession held so low a status that even Glinka, considered at the time Russia's greatest musical genius, owed his standing in his native country to being a member of the nobility and a public office-holder, rather than as a musician. |

| | ANTON RUBINSTEIN |
| | Anton Rubinstein left a large oeuvre consisting of operas, symphonies, piano works, songs end chamber music. | | | Rubinstein's music is not 'modern' but has close links with classical music traditions. | | | Rubinstein's piano- playing - together with that of Franz Liszt regarded as the most impressive of the 1 9th century - concentrated radically on character and the melody line in music. |

| | Rubinstein was later to modify these "foreign" influences in his work, and espouse, to a certain extent, the theories of "the five." His later music, as is evident in Ivan the Terrible, makes increasing use of Russian folk music. | | | In 1848 Rubinstein returned to Russia, where he became an essential part of the country's musical life. | | | Today, however, a work by Rubinstein is a rare sight on a concert program. |

| | Rubinstein, Symphony No. 2 |
| | Anton Rubinstein composed the original version of his Symphony No. 2, The Ocean, when he was thirty-two years old. | | | When first confronted with a work from the formative period in a composer's life, listeners cannot help but play musical "guessing-games" as to the influences shaping the work. | | | Towards the end of his life, the sage Rubinstein once observed, "Wherever you wish to be well-received, you should appear only rarely!" Certainly the rarity of tonight's performance will test the truth of this statement, as the American Symphony Orchestra presents the original version of Rubinstein's Symphony No 2, The Ocean. |

| | Rubinstein, however, coupled technical assurance with a less overtly Russian approach, although by the time of his death in 1894 he had come to a better understanding of Russian nationalism in music, while a younger generation had come to understand the necessity of professional musical training. | | | Mey’s drama serves as the source of Rubinstein’s musical portrait, written in 1869, and arranged for piano duet by Tchaikovsky in the same year. | | | Rubinstein remained director of the St Petersburg Conservatory until 1867, when he also gave up the directorship of the Russian Music Society concerts, which now fell to Balakirev. |

| | Rubinstein was one of the first pianists to use the then-new medium of electronic recording, committing nearly his entire repertoire to vinyl. | | | Rubinstein, as a leading virtuoso of the instrument, wrote a quantity of music for the piano. | | | As prolific here as in other forms of music, Rubinstein wrote a number of string quartets, three violin sonatas and two cello sonatas, in additon to other chamber works, none often heard, except possibly the sonata for viola and piano, a useful addition to an otherwise exiguous repertoire for the viola. |

| | Mendelssohn remained an idol throughout Rubinstein's life; he often performed his music in his own recitals; his own solo piano music contains many echoes of Mendelssohn, Frédéric Chopin and Robert Schumann. | | | Falling into no dynamic tradition, and perhaps somewhat lacking in individuality, Rubinstein's music was simply unable to compete either with the established classics or with the new Russian style of Stravinsky and Prokofiev. | | | Rubinstein had consistently identified himself with the more conservative traditions in European music of his time. |

| | The primary stimulus for including all three could be that all three of these works constitute the entire output for cello and piano of Rubinstein, and this is the first album to present all of them together. | | | His importance in Russian musical culture was that he brought in a strong influence of Western music while still retaining the special qualities of Russian folk melodies - making the output of such composers as Borodin and Tchaikovsky more universal in appeal. | | | His predilection for passages in octaves is heard in this sonata. |

| | The introduction of some of Rubinstein's orchestral music to New York audiences in the 1870s gives an interesting contemporary view of the composers' relative merits: "the name of Rubinstein was classed with Brahms and Raff - music not quite so disagreeable as Brahms' and not quite so pleasing as Raff's". | | | Whilst in Weimar, Rubinstein attended a performance of Wilhem Genast's play "Bernhard von Weimar", to which Raff had written an overture and some incidental music. | | | Raff's daughter Helene takes up the story: "When [Raff] lived in Wiesbaden, a Kurhaus concert took place in which Anton Rubinstein appeared first as pianist, then as director of his own Ocean Symphony, previously unheard there. |

| | Rubinstein's opera The Demon still appears on Russian stages, and some of his pleasantly Mendelssohnian chamber music is (theoretically) available on recent recordings, but opportunities of hearing his music live remain scarce even in his home country, so two concerts arranged to celebrate his anniversary offered a rare opportunity for evaluation. | | | Anton and Nikolai between them undoubtedly transformed the history of Russian music, virtually double-handed. | | | Anton, at the age of 12, had been made to forgo the chance of studying at the Paris Conservatoire, at the time the only state music school in the world open to pupils entirely on the basis of their musical talent. |
