Rachmaninov: Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini / Falla: Nights in the Gardens of Spain

The ultimate pianist, Artur Rubinstein's superb Romantic artistry embraces the ear on this new Living Stereo release. Spotlighting the ever-popular "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" by Rachmaninoff and lesser-known gems by Falla and Chopin, the album is sure to captivate fans of this unsurpassed keyboard giant. Newly remastered and bathed in legendary Living Stereo sound. Digitally remastered in 20-bit technology using a customized Studer transport with Cello electronics and universally compatible UV22™ Super CD Encoding. Digitally remastered at BMG/RCA Studios, New York City by Thomas MacCluskey (engineer). In the remastering process, sophisticated digital transfer technology was employed to reveal the full bandwidth and dynamic range of the original master tapes. To preserve the quality of the source material during transfer, we rejected any process by which tape hiss or other minor imperfections in the source material could be minimized at the expense of the original musical program's sonic integrity. What you hear is the pure performance, presented in its original splendor. Original cover art and liner notes are used whenever possible. The works in this album were recorded in three different locations over a period of three years, and as a result there are notiecable changes in perspective. In keeping with Living Stereo's policy of sonic integrity, no attempt was made to alter or compensate for these differences during the remastering process.
