Arthur Rubinstein: The Complete Album Collection

From December on, "Arthur Rubinstein The Complete Album Collection" will be the world's biggest CD edition for a solo artist according to Guinness World Records (TM). It features all the legendary pianist's issued recordings made by RCA Victor between 1940 and 1976, and includes one LP issued on the DECCA label in 1978. The collection also includes the recordings Rubinstein made in England for the English label His Master's Voice (HMV) between 1928 and 1940, most of which were released in the United States by RCA on its Victor label. The collection includes complete studio and live performances, solo, concerto and chamber music repertoire in reproductions of original LP sleeves and labels, the earlier recordings, initially released on 78-rpm discs, appear in three sets with 14 CDs in the edition.

The bonus CDs in this edition (CDs 140-142) contain recordings of his legendary 1961 cycle of ten concerts at New York's Carnegie Hall. They include four works that Rubinstein had never before committed to disc plus two others that represent brand-new additions to his RCA discography.

This edition also boasts the finest sound quality ever bestowed on Arthur Rubinstein's complete recordings. The masters for the principal works in the collection come from the series of Living Stereo SACDs and Japanese XRCDs. All the other recordings are based on masters from the Rubinstein Collection of 1999, technically and sonically refurbished for this edition. In cases where the desired results could not be obtained, Sony Classical has gone back to the original analogue tapes.

The 164-page full-colored hardcover book in landscape format includes new liner notes by Rubinstein biographer Harvey Sachs, photos shot or selected by Arthur Rubinstein's daughter Eva Rubinstein, an essay about the legendary 1961 Carnegie Hall concerts, complete discography in alphabetical and chronological order featuring 78s, 45s and LPs and track listings with complete discographical notes, producer names and matrix nos.

The two bonus DVDs are "Rubinstein Remembered", a documentary tracing the great pianist's life from his origins in Łódź, Poland, through his final concert there in 1975, with interviews from family and friends, newsreels, home movies, TV interviews and performance footage. Narrated by Rubinstein's son John Rubinstein and produced by Peter Rosen and the "The Benefit Recital for Israel 1976" recorded at Ambassador College, Pasadena, California on Jan 15, 1975 featuring works by Beethoven, Schumann, Debussy, Chopin and Mendelssohn.

The "Arthur Rubinstein Complete Album Collection" consists almost entirely of reproductions of vinyl LPs in their original sleeves. The few exceptions that were only released on CD retain their original CD cover. Thus for the first time ever, music lovers have the opportunity of discovering every single one of Rubinstein's original albums in a single issue.

Canon IS Binoculars - No More Shake

!±8± Canon IS Binoculars - No More Shake

There has been huge interest in Image Stabilized binoculars in recent times. The technology has become more affordable in recent years so it look set to continue growing its share of the binocular market.

Why the interest? It's all down to resolution. IS technology allows you to see more detail in the image because it greatly reduces the natural image shake caused by unsteady hands and yes we all have the shakes, its just a matter of how much! Try focusing normal binoculars on some text, perhaps on a street sign some distance away, while holding them then try again with the binoculars on a tripod. Notice the difference? You can see much more detail in the steadier tripod mounted binocular. Reducing or eliminating the shake gives us much better detail.

Canon IS binoculars are probably the best known of the bunch while brands like Fujinon are fast gaining a following. IS binoculars are used by nature observers such as birders and sailors amongst others. Whether you're viewing wildlife from the back of a moving jeep or you've had too much coffee, the stabilization is very effective. Sailors like their ease of use and water resistance while astronomers appreciate the power and clarity of the optics. With a steadier image we can achieve greater magnification more comfortably. Sailors used to be pretty much limited to 7x magnification but IS technology now allows up to 18x with the same aperture.

Their inbuilt computers and gyros are very effective at reducing image shake. The gyros measure both horizontal and vertical movement which the processor instantly compensates for by moving either variable prisms or a tilt mechanism depending on which particular model you have.

Fitting the electronics and batteries into the body adds weight so these do not feel like a normal binocular. Having said that, one soon gets accustomed to holding the weight at least for short durations.

The Canon 10x 30 is lightweight as IS binoculars go at a shade under 1.5lbs and is water resistant, think showerproof not waterproof and the rubber coating makes them comfortable to hold. The combination of weight, quality optics and price seems to have hit the mark with IS fans. The 14.5mm eye relief also allows most folk to use them while wearing glasses.

Canon make IS binoculars in several sizes: 8x 25, 12x 36, 10x 42, 10x 50, 15x 50 and 18x 50 but the 10x 30 seems to be the most popular.
