I have had the privilege to hear Rubinstein when I was growing up in Paris. He played, as one can see, without all the faces, grimaces., contorsions and others games modern players enjoy doing for the gallery. He just PLAY MUSIC. THIS IS MUSIC. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU ARE DEEPLY MISSED AS WELL AS MAESTRO HAITINK.

[@JeffreySaxophoneTallNewton]

If you think classical pianists are bad, smooth jazz sax players are way worse. I play straight-ahead jazz sax and they are crazy!

[@bachstraightboy1293]

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

[@elsalohengrin7777]

That it why he was still able to play like tjis in this age!!!!!!

[@duncanmacpherson2013]

Towards the end of his life when his eyesight had faded so that he could no longer reads music it was suggested that he might retire. His response was that he no longer needed to read the music as he had 40 different concertos off by heart along with over 100 solo piano pieces and could play any of them to concert standard at the drop of a hat. He was not joking

Arthur Rubinstein one of the best pianists ever.

[@paulusrex321]

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.

[@user-ps2tm5hj4b]

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.

[@jeffreycoleman3465]

Agree with these comments. Wonderfully elegant expressive performance by Rubinstein - what a uniquely stylish pianist he was. But I was also very impressed with the conductor Haitinck. - he seems to effortlessly generate weight and momentum from the orchestra while keeping it totally under control and musical. A great combination, these artists. With a bit of help from Beethoven!

[@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 KZbin.

[@metteholm4833]

Rubinstein is 86 years old here.

[@saltburner2]

I heard him 5 times in London, including his final recital at Wigmore Hall in 1976, I first heard him in this concerto in 1960. He was one of the greatest I heard. To be fair, though, I think Yunchan Lim's performance at the Cliburn has set a new standard.

[@lesfoster8172]

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.

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.

[@user-cf6km2my3g]

Блестящее исполнение, какое слышание всей фактуры. Его нужно слушать постоянно, только такая временная связь может приблизить любого мыслящего исполнителя к пониманию Бетховена. Того Бетховена, жившего в своё время, а не теперешнего, порой с космическими темпами.

[@sdorr]

One evening in 1967, after study, I walked through Royce Hall at UCLA, and, heard unmistakable playing. (I was a music student) Heart pounding, I hovered outside the auditorium in the hallway, immersed in bliss for the remainder of the first part of the program. When intermission came, I glanced inside, and noticed a very few inexplicably empty seats. I snuck in, self-conscious a bit of my shabby student attire, but, I could care less! To say that I enjoyed the second half of the recital is an understatement, and, when I told my mother later that evening, that I also had gotten in the receiving line, and had my hand very-lightly-grasped by the master - she said that "I must never wash that hand"!

[@annedwyer797]

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!)

[@scottmiller6495]

This and Grieg,s Piano Concerto are now my favorites!!!!!

[@Shooshie128]

Rubinstein was fairly animated in concert up into his early 80s. Here, he’s probably in his high 80s, but Beethoven was never really what animated him. His typical movements include raising his arms high off the keyboard at the strike of a very accented chord, possibly the end of a phrase; raising up out of his seat for huge accents; and making his hands “dance” the part - holding them high and coming down strong on chords. Technically, most of his “animation” is just the way he plays at the keyboard, but he was more animated than a lot of his contemporaries like Horowitz, Abbau, Richter, and such.

[@fredfeinberg3995]

I will never forget the first time I heard his recording of this work: the way he played the coda, with such nobility, power, and tenderness... all at once. The magnificent trills, with the melody both above and below clearly and naturally delineated. It was all just so magical. And here he is, in his mid-eighties, playing it just as magically. One has to ask: How?

1887년생인 루빈스타인이 만 여든다섯에 연주한 곡이네요. 이게 팔순을 넘기고도 미수를 앞둔 노장의 연주라니 믿겨지지 않습니다. 19세기에 태어나 전쟁 전의 소리를 그대로 간직하며, 오직 자신만의 모던함을 세상에 알려준 거장에게 끝없이 감사드릴 따름입니다. 루빈스타인의 모던함은 지메르만의 예민함과 함께 모차르트, 베토벤처럼 영원히 기억될 것입니다.

I love his stately and tonal quality in the 1st movement. A great complement to Uchida's more fiery, and equally well-interpreted rendition. i/m/o, Uchida lends broader feeling and depth to the 2nd movement, while giving a more stately and tonal breath in the 3rd, showcasing what might have been an Oriental influence on Beethoven's composition of that movement. I deeply love Uchida's overall rendition of this piece. However, it's near-impossible to overstate the wonderful artistry of Rubinstein here.

En général je ne parle pas de modestie, sentiment souvent affecté et d'inspiration fallacieuse, mais c'est pourtant à ce sentiment que je pense en voyant et en entendant jouer Arthur Rubinstein. Oh ! pas une modestie pâle, repliée sur elle-même, et maigre d'inspiration, mais toute vouée à l'oeuvre, faisant abstraction de soi, comme un religieux se voue à sa foi, concentré, profond, éthéré. Accompagné supérieurement par Bernard Haitink et le Concertgebouw, le pianiste, vêtu comme pour un dîner d'ambassade, avec ce long visage de pélican méditatif, dont le froissement d'une paupière révèle seul, quelquefois, le travail intérieur, est en lui-même un spectacle intense, presque autant que l'hommage sobre et raffiné qu'il rend à Beethoven. Merci pour ce grand moment d'art.

Saw him twice growing up. He believed that the music conveyed the emotion the composer wished to express. Other means of expression distracted or modified this intention much the same as changing notes or phrasing would.. If you want to express your own emotions write your own music. That is what he said to Glen Gould.
