My introduction to classical piano in 1945 aged 13, still love it today.

He was so amazing. He was my favorite pianist when I was a teen in the 60’s. 🤩🤩🤩

The great Rubinstein! Only he could play the marching rhythm of the cavalry so charmingly. Indescribably beautiful!

Chopin succeeded in enriching all our lives . A gift to mankind. Arthur Rubinstein brings it all to life. Incomparable performance.

Chopin to najpiękniejsza spuścizna dla ludzkości.

Ah, memories of my youth, when I was inebriated by the music of Chopin and other classical musicians, and the virtuosic interpreters such as Rubinstein.

Coming off that bench shows what this piece requires to play it well.

[robertovilches]

Esta es una de las mejores interpretaciones de esta obra que he escuchado.

Arthur Rubinstein o maior intérprete de Chopin de todos os tempos.
Ng irá supera lo.

My very favorite interpreter of Chopin’s music! [note that I did not say “best;” as Beverly Sills said, artists are not horses, so one cannot win a race] Maybe it’s Rubinstein’s infectious and purely infectious joie du vivre, his identification with Chopin oeuvre as a fellow Pole, both joined to his colossal musical gifts and intellect....whatever it is, I know in an instant if I’m listening to Rubinstein. I really adore the way Ashkenazy, Argerich, Szpilman, and Cziffra interpret Chopin’s works, too, but Rubinstein is the one I always come back to, and crappy background noise cannot dampen his playing of this glorious piece one bit! Thanks for uploading!

I had to memorize this (the 1st movement but played the whole thing) when I took piano lessons in the 50's.

Kto w 2022 musi się tego na kształcenie słuchu słuchać ?? I czemu to jest takie stare !!??

[fslubin]

Considering that Rubinstein was born at age 45, his accomplishments are that much more astonishing.

No one can play this better. I hope to copy him and post it.
