'Regarding the Arthur Rubinstein discography, I doubt seriously its
legitimacy. The discography is nor less or more than the one compiled
by Donald Manildi, and issued in Harvey Sachs' book: "Arthur
Rubinstein. A Life" (published in 1995), only somewhat rearranged and
translated into Serbo-Kroatian.
'I think it is both morally questionable and an infringement of Mr
Manildi's copyrights to publish it on the internet as being "Compiled
by Aleksandar Gatalica". (It would be even more serious infringement,
if Mr Gatalica also published it in his book under his own name,
which may or may not be the case - I have of course not seen his
book.)
'Furthermore, the otherwise excellent discography is somewhat out of
date (including only recordings published before April 1995, thus
also ommitting BMG's 94 CD's large Rubinstein Collection, together
with other new discoveries and reissuings), so it is a bit of an
overstatement to call it "complete" today. It also includes some
errors which Mr Manildi was kind to correct for me.
'I think it would be appropriate to forward the above information
both to the subscribers of the Great Pianists lists and to Mr
Gatalica. I'm sending a copy of this mail to Mr Manildi.'
