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.

Top 5 Quality Cribs on a Budget

!±8± Top 5 Quality Cribs on a Budget

There are a number of cribs ranging in price, some being just as stylish and convenient as the next. Prices range from one hundred to five hundred and on up. As far as parents are concerned, they want their children to have the very best, but what each parent considers the best is many times very different. Here are some cribs that impress a wide range of parents and are very practical in pricing.

The Jenny Lind crib, made by Da Vinci, is one of the most popular. This crib will cost parents between two hundred and three hundred bucks. They are a traditional style that comes in different finishes ranging from white to cherry. The Jenny Lind also comes with a teething rail on them and wheels for easy transference. The Jenny Lind does require a kit to be able to change it to a toddler bed. This crib is most popular because of its simplicity yet sturdiness and the multiple options contained within this crib.

Another option is by Simplicity brand. They are slightly cheaper in price but just as worth the money. The Simplicity Ellis 4-in-1 baby crib is a good choice for parents. The mattress position can be set to four different heights. The crib can be used for a crib, toddler bed, daybed, or full-size headboard. This is an excellent choice for parents looking to invest in something that will get use for many years and milestones.

Graco is a brand we hear from car seats to cribs even. The Graco Lauren Convertible Drop-side crib is much like the Simplicity Ellis in multiple mattress positions and conversion options. The Graco Lauren has 3 finish colors--white, espresso, and natural--to fit whichever style a parent is going for. A convenient feature put on this crib is wheels on the bottom for easy moving or rearranging in the child's bedroom. These range in price from one hundred to two hundred, so a great buy for the money.

Third, Storkcraft offers an additional quality crib to its already excellent inventory. The Storkcraft Angelina has a very elegant design and a one handed release for the drop-down side. This crib is available in a number of finish options. Furthermore, a trundle drawer for convenient storage is included. Conversion to a toddler bed or daybed is available. All these conveniences, though, are reflected in the price, which ranges from two hundred fifty to three hundred dollars.

One final popular crib is the sleigh convertible crib by Dream on Me. It's sleek design gives it a high-end look but not for the high-end price. This crib costs around one hundred fifty dollars which is completely reasonable. It offers 3 mattress height levels, caster wheels, and comes in a variety of finishes. The Dream on Me sleigh convertible has a extremely easy conversion to a daybed, yet that's the only conversions available.

With all the choices out there, choosing a crib that best suits a parent's needs and style can be terribly time consuming. There are an excellent array of quality choices available to fit every budget. Shop around for the perfect fit for you and your little one and watch many memories be made.
