Artur Rubinstein's first American recording with orchestra, in 1942, was this same Grieg Piano Concerto, the Norwegian composer's only work for piano and orchestra. With each advance in recording technology, this great artist - someone described him eloquently as "the last civilized man" - created a new version, each one different than the one before, each recording definitive and authoritative.
