that it is not that Rubinstein has "actively" been forgotten at all, but that his "falling off" in the general scheme of classical music awareness is natural...a product of age, contemporary listeners (to him) passing and -- not in the very least -- the unavoidable tendency for the new to replace the old.
Recordings present us with a false sense of "presence" keeping the historic seemingly alive for us to appreciate. I suppose this is better than the manufactured and synthetic, which places things that were NEVER actually alive in front of us as a distraction!:-)
