From a ClassicalNotes dot net review of Concerto #5 (Emperor)
• Arthur Rubinstein, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Daniel Barenboim (RCA, 1975) – At the opposite end of the interpretive spectrum, Rubinstein had recorded the Beethoven concertos with Joseph Krips and the Symphony of the Air in 1956 and with Erich Leinsdorf and the Boston Symphony in 1965, but for this final, autumnal recording of the Emperor Barenboim crafts a deeply empathetic setting that arises from a special bond, both professional and personal. Rubinstein not only launched and nurtured Barenboim's solo career but then encouraged his protégé to become a conductor and even provided his home for Barenboim's honeymoon with Jacqueline du Pré. Here the 88-year old master, still in full command of his phenomenal technique, willingly trades emphasis and dynamism for a rich, contemplative final embrace of the Emperor, radiating an innate warmth that his 33-year old prodigy joyously supports.
