What wonderful Russian speaking! “Each composer/pianist is their own identity, you can’t compare them against each other to decide a “best” one”, he said.

[@bobgold57]

Thank you for the translation. Google translate is almost comic in its futility. Great to hear Rubinstein talk about another pianist he admires. He can be unsparing when a pianist doesn't move him.

"ALMOST" comic??

"world-class penis"

[@isabellaazarya7560]

Как всё просто и правильно сказано!

[@aleksthegreat4130]

Excellent Russian he spoke!Sure i know Poland was a part of Russian Empire at the tne he was born(1887),but again,he left quite soon and lived all his life abroad,USA and Europe.

[@michelangelomulieri5134]

The most insightful thing he said was about the relationship between the the pianist and the instrument

[@williamhill2221]

Performance and demonstration for young Pianist is best piano teaching.

[@pavlosgermanidis2754]

He says, it's impossible to compare different personalities that are engaged in art, literature or music. But then he defines different classes of pianists (which requires comparison) and finally compares Richters 5th Scriabin Sonata to the recordings he owns and concludes, nobody could play it as Richter does. So basically, he is ranking, isn't he? Plus you can settle the greatness debate by using other words. Like, Paganini may be the most influential violin virtuoso of his generation.

[@heikorudi6105]

I love that he speaks all the languages I speak 😂

[@alandemir568]

What sonata is he talking about? he says 1906 which would rule out anything after the 4th sonata, but maybe he remembered the date wrong.

[@rag2458]

I’m not sure…but if he is talking about the 5th then I completely agree with him. Richter’s recording of Scriabin’s 5th is really unlike anything I’ve ever heard, absolutely colossal

[@rag2458]

I found out that he was indeed talking about the 5th

[@alandemir568]

@@rag2458 thanks for that!

Now really Young Pianist don't need literature. Writers really need literature.

French presenter...speaking in Russian??

[@AramHarutyunyan]

Léon Zitrone was a Russian-born French journalist and television presenter. He was born in Petrograd and arrived in France with his family at the age of six. You can find his full biography here: bit.ly/38VuXyC

[@ytyt3922]

Aram Harutyunyan ok thanks. I presume this interview was for Russian television, since Rubinstein was fluent in French and the interview was by a French journalist (albeit Russian-born) at his home in Paris, so ordinarily the language would have been French.

[@AramHarutyunyan]

@@ytyt3922 Yes, it was made for soviet TV film «The Chronicles of Sviatoslav Richter»

[@ytyt3922]

David Millar it was surprising because it was an interview by a French journalist, to Rubinstein (whose French was more fluent than his Russian), at Rubinstein’s Paris home. So yes it was a tad surprising that they used Russian to converse rather than French, until it was explained above that this was a film for Soviet television.

[@alexanderabc6296]

@@ytyt3922, as a Russian I can say he also spoke Russian perfectly, almost like a native
