Good Heavens, Maestro Rubinstein was around 85 years old at the time of this concert. Simply mindblowing!!! What a gift to humanity!

A wonderful video with two maestros I met fleetingly while working as an immigration officer at London's Heathrow Airport in the 1970s. They live on through videos such as this, for future generations to enjoy and appreciate. They helped make the world a better place.
RIP.

As others have said on other Rubinstein videos, there's no pained expressions, no contorted faces, no waving arms or flopping hands. He just plays. Brilliantly. Love this guy.

ich habe schon tausende Klassik-Konzerte über die Jahrzehnte angehört, aber das hier ist die Sahnehaube -- ganz besonders hervorzuheben: Klaviergott Artur Rubinstein. Was für eine *Glanzleistung*!. Einfach nur perfekt und so schön Punkt.

[DHHoover]

It is amazing that he can keep all the piano concertos in his head. every note, every tones, every nuance. I never had a chance to hear him in person. Thank you YouTube.

Ma vi rendete conto che questo video è stato girato circa 50 anni fa e che Rubinstein all'epoca aveva 86 anni ? Dopo 40 anni dalla sua scomparsa possiamo ancora vederlo e godere della sua bravura eccezionale ! Ringrazio chi ci ha offerto questa possibilità e mi sento di augurare ai nuovi pianisti emergenti una carriera lunga e soddisfacente come la sua.

I am now 48 years old, I started to learn music theory at 4 years of age, I listen actively to classical music since I was 8. I've listening about maestro Rubenstein all of my life, at one point I remember I had a box set tapes of Brahms Piano Concertos with maestro Rubenstein, but I guess I was never lucky enough to see him in actual performance until now. It is a great a privilege and a great joy to hear and watch this clip and deep gratitude, and appreciation to whomever downloaded this clip.

What a treat to see Rubinstein perform one of my favorite piano concertos! I'm struck by his economy of motion: no big arm movements/flourishes, no rocking, no grimacing or faces, he has almost no expression, and it doesn't really change! He's like a Buddha of the Piano. I kind of love it, since there aren't any visual distractions when watching him play! I'm curious if this is different from his style as a young man, but we'll never know, since there are probably no existing films of him pre-WWll (after all, he was born in 1887!)

[ralphwalter]

I´ve never heard it better as played by Artur Rubinstein. I love this concert since my youth.

[lesfoster]

When this pianist play's the piano the sound is so crisp and very clear the man was a absolute genius l could listen to his playing for ever the orchestra and conductor are also out of this world.

[irmaswart]

I stand humbled in the presence of such greatness. My emotions are flowing over.

[hansglaubitz]

Two maestros, Rubinstein and Haitink, what fantastic cadenzas
