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.

The Different Types of Cultivators
Garden Cultivators are tools that are used to break up the soil to prepare it for planting. Breaking up the soil allows for water, air, and other nutrients to get to the roots of the plant. It also helps decrease the amount of weeds that grow around the plants. If weeds do grow, they are much easier to remove from cultivated soil.
There are a few options when it comes to purchasing Garden Cultivators. Choosing the right cultivator for the job is really important. Some plants do not need a great deal of aeration and their roots may not need to be planted deep in the soil. For these plants, a manual cultivator may be sufficient.
Most manual cultivators have a long handle so that they can be used while standing. They also have blades on the bottom so that the user can manually rotate them to break up the soil. They come in a variety of sizes - some of them are so small that they can be used while sitting or kneeling.
For larger areas that require more depth, electric or battery operated Garden Cultivators may be used. The blades on these cultivators are moved by electricity or battery power. They typically have longer blades than those on a manual cultivator and do not require the user to work as hard. For even larger areas that require a lot of depth, a gas powered cultivator may be used.
These tools have an engine that rotates the blades. Their blades can be up to three times bigger than those of a manual cultivator. They can cover a lot more ground in a short amount of time because they are so powerful. These are typically used by individuals who are planting a large vegetable garden, while a manual or electric cultivators are usually used for flower gardens.
Not only do the types of Garden Cultivators vary in functionality, they also vary greatly in price. Small, manual cultivators can be purchased for under , while a large, gas powered cultivator may cost up to several hundred dollars. This is why it is so important to choose the right cultivator for the task at hand. It would not be wise to spend hundreds of dollars to break up a small amount of soil, but, on the other hand, purchasing a manual cultivator for a large area just to save money would not get the job done.
