This was the first of three recordings Arthur Rubinstein made of Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata. Although this performance contains many pianistic and tonal felicities, there are several issues which prevent it from being of the first rank. First, on a purely technical level, there is a distracting change of pitch at 3'11" during Track 1 (presumably this is where Side 1 of the original 78-RPM set ended and Side 2 began). Second, the piano is problematic as several unisons in the treble are not cleanly tuned. As for the performance, Rubinstein's approach here is somewhat episodic, lacking in the architectonic qualities which would come later. This version is certainly not bad, just not on the same level as Rubinstein's later remakes (Volumes 33 & 56 of the Rubinstein Collection) which also benefit from more realistic recorded sound.
