Editor's Pick Rubinstein, Anton. (1829–1894) Rare Original 1892 Concert Program For The Benefit Of The Victims Of The Russian Famine Of 1891 Don't Wait [ro1J8npD]

Rubinstein ranks among the great 19th-century keyboard virtuosos. He became most famous for his series of historical recitals—seven enormous, consecutive concerts covering the history of piano music. Rubinstein played this series throughout Russia and Eastern Europe and in the United States when he toured there. Rubinstein was also a prolific composer throughout much of his life. He composed five piano concertos, six symphonies and a large number of solo piano works along with a substantial output of works for chamber ensemble. Rubinstein gave his final concert in Saint Petersburg on January 14, 1894.
