Evidently, Rubinstein never performed this G Major sonata in public.That is unfortunate as this recording of the third movement Minuetto displays a complete connection with the Schubertian style.

  • ...so does that mean there is no recording of the other 3 movements? =( or I'm just meant to go out there and buy it =D

  • Yes, there are other recordings of the other three movements. But not by Rubinstein.

  • I was in stage seats in one of his 1960 series Carnegie Hall recitals, and as he walked past me at the end, I said "Maestro, Schubert, bitte, bitte, bitte". He smiled at me. When he finished his first encore, as he walked by again, he actually said to me "Was?" I said "Maestro, neunzig drei", meaning the Impromptu Op 90 #3, in G flat. But he never played it. And I have never heard a recording of him playing it. What a pity. But I love him.

  • Thank you for sharing this delightful incident. I was about to inform you that Rs recording of the impromptu was on YouTube, but you had already found it.

  • Rubinstein understands this music as few others do. He really shines in the music of the early romantics.

  • i never heard this. I can't believe it. This genius has captured the ENTIRE schubertian sound. Incredible. 

  • @mal8739 Rubinstein's tuner, Franz Mohr, wrote in his book that Rubinstein rarely spoke German after WW2.

  • And, thank you for your kind remarks and your help. To this day I cannot fathom why I decided to speak to him in German. I am not a native speaker - 3 years at college level. In later years I thought perhaps that "bitte" was more appropriate than "please", as it seems to be more "pleading" or "entreating", which was exactly what I meant! Sometimes, the German language expresses feelings more accurately!

  • Unbelievable!!! Just as I post this, I found one on YouTube! I am fulfilled!

  • I have commented on R's Schubert B4. He made two well known recordings of the D960 both worth listening to, of course in this music no ONE person has the last word Richter, Kempff,and more recently, Kovacevich & so on; all have much to say. R's gift seemed to B a way of making music which flowed, he could invoke a wistfulness & it always seemed natural. Barenboim said that R's way would seem right ! -even though he would play it differently, AR had a special chemistry. -indefinable.

  • Rubinstein owns the Romantic period
