After seeing the enthusiasm for this recording, and the dismay at the
offer of another performance of the same music, I decided to offer my
rather amateurish attempt at transferring the original RCA mono lp.
I made these in flac format and placed photos of the jacket in a soon to
follow offer of the Arlesienne suites on the flip side of the recording.
I thought there may be a tad too much of added reverberation in the
original. I have no idea how to reduce this (or even if it's possible,
which I doubt) but the recording is pretty elegant no matter.

Jonathan Yardley: 'My Young Years': Rubinstein's Enchanting Prelude

An occasional series in which The Post's book critic reconsiders
notable and/or neglected books from the past.

Midway through "My Young Years," his memoir of the first three
decades of what turned out to be an exceptionally long life, the
incomparable classical pianist Arthur Rubinstein recalls an anecdote
about two cousins, one of them "the greatest Don Juan of his time,"
who became involved with the same beautiful woman but whose
friendship managed to survive this rather extreme complication.
Rubinstein tells the tale and then shrugs: "Even if it were only
half-true, it was a good story."

That is exactly how I feel about "My Young Years." How much of it is
true and how much mere invention no one now can say -- Rubinstein
died a quarter-century ago at the age of 95, and all his
contemporaries...
