Though avid fans with cash to spare will want to spring for the full set, others interested in hearing a major artist at the peak of his powers should stand by for the release of individual volumes, starting next year. The bulk of The Rubinstein Collection is given over to later performances that too often are cautious, occasionally even bland. But the first 11 discs, recorded in the '20s and '30s and exquisitely remastered by Ward Marston, sizzle with the devil-may-care brio that made Rubinstein the best-loved pianist of his generation...

...economy, it's only a matter of time before antiquated child-labor laws are inverted to establish a maximum wage and minimum hours. (In fact, the better question may be, is it even fair to keep these kids stuck at home or in a classroom during their peak earning years?) These are the odd socioeconomic circumstances that place me among the first generation of Americans who strive to do better than their children...
