Sublime . . . Angelic . . . Beauty . . . Rubinstein . . . As Vibrant Today as the Day He Performed It - 50+ years ago.

I had the privilege of hearing him perform Beethoven's Emperor Concerto in 1971 in Los Angeles. One of the greatest pianists of the 20th century and an extraordinary person.

Artur Rubinstein...proof that you don't have to throw yourself all over the stage to be a great pianist.

[elsalohengrin]

I am enchanted by this old Gentlemen! What a blessing for him, that he was still able to play like this in this high age!

[Ernesto]

Amazing performance by a 86 year old !! A strong testimonial that our musical capacity lasts a lifelong. Same with the ability of our fingers. And the intelligence that works behind the two. Seeing his face while he plays always make me wonder... what are the gears that are turning inside that brain...

[КочатковаЛюдмила]

Это человек не от мира сего!! Он послан небесами всем нам грешным человечищам!!!Моему восхищению нет предела!!!

[patriciagraham]

Wow! Out of this world - outstanding in every way. Pianist and composer perfection. Such a delight. Thank you . Thank you.

[Exposetheluciferianagenda]

How beautiful and elegant is that Schubert piece.

[robertwemischner]

Heard him 45 years ago or so....he was supreme? Close second to Horowitz; what a privilege and pleasure to have heard both of them

[andresgunther]

Rubinstein was 86 years old when this recording was made. Same quality playing as when he was in his prime time, if not better. That is truly remarkable.
(I corrected an earlier mistake about Mtro. Rubinstein's age :)

[fazergazer]

When I listen, I say to myself, now I understand.

[davidhertzberg]

Total and complete command of the music - technical and artistic. Timeless.

[FrancisAsin-Gioro]

Musically No one ever can beat Rubinstein.

[aseverino]

EL MEJOR PIANISTA Y MÁS ARTISTA DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS.

[frankmartinez]

Supreme interpreter of Chopin, Schubert, Schumann, and any moderns that he played. Close second to no one. It is all in the phrasing.

[vslmrzv]

Какая ясность во всем. Во фразе, в динамике, в фактуре.

[billczerno]

There is a slight desynchonization (lag) netween picture and the music, which makes it painful to watch . Better listen only !

You should really fight that bogus claim you have on your video.
