. . . on that later recording, and that Rubinstein said he would never perform with Reiner again after those acrimonious sessions. Despite the hard time I was giving to jdaniel (it was all in fun!), I really didn't think the Rubinstein/Reiner recording was particularly slow. But I'll try to hear the recording with Koussevitsky - maybe it's on Spotify. I know that Rubinstein was a much more fiery player in the 40's than he was later on - for instance, his Beethoven Third with Toscanini was a much more exciting performance than his later recordings with various conductors.
