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.

Pond Vacuums

!: Pond Vacuums

Pond vacuums are electric powered devices used for cleaning leaves and other forms of debris that may be present on a pond's surface. Ponds were earlier cleared with the help of nets and bamboo sticks but this system did not provide effective cleaning, as many small garbage items were not caught in the net. Pond vacuum devices help in quick and effective cleaning of pond surfaces and give them a sparkling look.

Pond vacuums are available in different watt capacities, which is often the wattage of electrical motors used inside these devices. The wattage of these motors may range between one thousand watts and four thousand watts. A higher watt capacity vacuum will have more suction power and will consume more electricity as compared to a similar vacuum of lower watt capacity.

Pond vacuum devices available in the market have some common components such as high torque electric motors, small suction fans, garbage collection bags, and protruding exterior suction pipes. Most pipes and other attachments used in pond vacuums are wider than those used in household vacuums as pond debris such as leaves and twigs take a lot of space. If shallow suction pipes are used, the debris will block the pipes passage and effect the functioning of the pond vacuum. Garbage collected inside these vacuums need to be emptied on a regular basis for increasing its effectiveness and operational life.

Pond vacuums are used for cleaning ponds situated in parks and large personal estates. These are often remotely operated and can be mounted on the back of motorboats if the length and width of a pond is too wide to be accessed from the sides.

Pond vacuums need regular maintenance, as some amount of water always gets sucked inside these vacuums. Though they are designed for such purposes, continuous exposure to water may corrode internal components and shorten their operational lives.
