...become such a master of his market that competing corporations willingly share his services-a practice universally avoided in the U.S. Standard's 62 clients include two appliance companies, two steel mills and three drug companies, in addition to such prestigious firms as Shell, Pirelli and Helena Rubinstein. Last week Standard went to work on two more major plums: a government campaign to popularize a new anti-inflation, salary-withholding bond, and another to promote the National Housing Bank, recently organized to finance lower-class housing...
MOZART: CONCERTO NO. 17 (RCA Victor). Artur Rubinstein has made long series of Beethoven, Brahms and Chopin recordings, but only in his mid-70s is he turning to Mozart, who did not live long enough to grow old.

They hark back instead to the years before World War I when French Pianist Alfred Cortot, French Violinist Jacques Thibaud and Pablo Casals were the presiding maestri.

They play as if for themselves, and in the playing each achieves a reach of music higher than any he could gain for himself...
Tearful Nights. For Rubinstein, the most satisfying aspect of his career is the constant opportunity for growth in his art. ("I cannot play something that is not always new to me.") In pursuit of variety, he will even try out new fingerings "that suddenly occur to me" in the midst of a concert. "It is dangerous, I admit," he says, "but that is the way music develops." Yet his playing is still notable for its certainty, its easy muscularity and sense of inevitability. In last week's tour d'art, Rubinstein lent exhilaration and romance to the weighty...
