Sometimes i just play this video amid the air, filling my place only with his voice and his piano. No reason. it makes me feel so right. The atmosphere gets so calm and classic, and i feel somehow warm and even noble. Purely blessed we are by his art and his existence.
What a legend! You can even re-live the "good old times" only by listening to Artur Rubinstein - one of the best pianists of all times. My idol as a human being and pianist as well.
Kangyu Ng - in his early years he was all sorts of things (so the naughty Grapevine informs) but, when he'd become a family man, any early attending frivolities of youth were then set-aside.
{List of pieces performed by Arthur} Intro: 0:30 Spinning song: 05:35 Liszt Liebestraum: 7:14 F.Chopin C sharp minor Waltz: 12:20 F.Chopin A Major Polonaise: 19:34 (Pop go the weasel 24:11) F. Chopin C# Mazurka: 24:44 F. Chopin C# Scherzo: 30:31 F. Chopin A flat Major Polonaise: 41:44
Waltz # 7 in C Sharp Minor... I would not spend tireless nights doing homework listening to anything else. Thank you Rubinstein. Thank you to who posted this amazing video. But most of all, thank you Chopin.
Worth noting: Rubinstein spoke 8 languages loved movies &was interested in everything. unlike some of today's musicians he was a well rounded person who loved life.He was a pupil of H Barth. Barth had been asked by Joachim -personal friend of Brahms to teach R. This means that R also had great insight into the interpretation of the music of Brahms. Listen to his recording of Brahms 2nd.
when he says he would give some years of his life to hear Chopin playing, if you make the math, if Chopin hadnt died so young he could have heard him playing.. such a shame
To: dias piano, I often torture myself by imagining what unimaginably heavenly music Chopin would haven given the universe had lived into his 90's. We can cure tuberculosis today... WHAT WASTE...........
If he had heard Chopin when he was four years old, Chopin would have been 81. Chopin would have in fact needed an unusually long life span for that time, and his playing would be unlikely to be representative of his prime. EDIT: Of course if he had lived (and continued playing well) as long as Rubinstein...
MY WIFE AND I were privileged to hear Artur Rubinstein play LIVE in Cleveland, Ohio in 1958. He played the Tchaikovsky 1st and the Rachmaninoff 2nd, and he was magnificent. Few people throughout history can rise to the level of a real "concert pianist", and fewer still can persevere over decades, outliving most of their loyal fans with endless streams of beautiful sound. But Rubinstein did, still being active in his 90's. He surely is one of my top 5 favorite pianists, along with Horowitz, Byron Janis (Horowitz's pupil), Valentina Lisitsa, and Martha Argerich (sometimes). Those are my favorites. Who are yours?
***** INDEED, Michael! Are you unfamiliar with her vast UTube recordings, or merely disagreeing with me? Lisitsa is one of the younger classical pianists who are PRESERVING the traditions of the great performers of the past. I just happen to admire her talent and her determination to claw her way toward the top of the classical pianist "mountain". There are so many excellent pianists from the past, that for anyone to pick one or a few of their "favorites" is asking for verbal confrontations from others. I accept that. In actuality, I would possibly delete Horowitz from my list of favorites and replace him with Ashkenazy (Askenazy (sp??) or Jorge Bolet. That's the frustrating part of determining one's favorite pianists, isn't it?
Arthur Rubinstein, especially with Chopin, is one to be compared to all. Interesting to note that what we know of his performances was when he was in his 60's. My favorite of today's contemporary is (not absolute) Evgeny Kissin. Relatively young in his 40's, I believe he may even surpassed Rubinstein at their corresponding age. While Rubinstein is not of my generation, I look to him (and other's like Horowitz) of the past generations of find real substance, without the barrage of marketing we get today. Yes, I do agree on your admiration of Ms. Lisitsa. Her success came on her own effort, through UA-cam and social media. Not the prepackaged good looking marketable stars that the producers are feeding us today.
I dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the account password. I love any tricks you can offer me
A recording that should be seen by any mother who wants her children to play the piano AND one that should be seen by children so their imagination can see what it is possible for a human being to do when interacting with the piano...
❤️ Exquisite playing by this legendary pianist. I especially love his collaboration with violinist Jascha Heifetz and cellist Gregor Piatigorsky in Mendelssohn's Piano Trio in d minor (at 57:04).
Actually these documentaries are staged, even "Mr Johnson" is an actor as I can tell from how he speaks and moves. Thing is that Rubinstein knew well the importance of the "Social Media" of his time- recordings, cinema and Television - to not only promote great art performances but also preserve them for future generations.
My dear, late piano teacher and Cleveland legend Eunice Podis studied piano with Artur Rubinstein during the summer of 1942 at his home in California. I gleaned much information about him from her as she was a life-long admirer of AR, her idol. I listen to many others' performances but always feel that Rubinstein's surpasses them; I'm an addict, as dear Eunice would cheerfully admit!
Here is Rubinstein in his prime producing surely some of the most captivating playing of his long and illustrious career. Yes indeed there definately was the showman in Rubinstein as this film illustrates, yet this aspect never obscured his serious and dedicated mission as a great communicative artist.
Even when he was so old he still had all that juice! The technical stuff you can learn - what he had comes with you from the womb! Great - really beyond the beyond!
Pretty adorable when Rubinstein's wife and little kids come in at 23:40! I wonder if the little boy is John Rubinstein? To me, Rubinstein is an interesting mix of formality (after all, he was born in the late 19th century!) and passion. I'm curious about this "film": it seems to be a long performance or promotion piece (which was dramatically "scrapped" beginning at 1:14:40) for an unnamed feature film (Night Song", 1948?), or maybe it was simply marketing in an effort to get the public interested in attending concerts. At any rate, it's worth the hour+ viewing, it was fun to see Rubinstein playful and relaxed, and making chamber music with Heifetz and Piatigorsky. Thanks for the upload!
😮It's hard to wrap my head around how Rubenstein played practically exclusively FOR MEMORY!!! Even in his elder years. What a gift God gave him and us 😁🎹. Thank you ever so much.❤
-- La mise en scène de ce document est kitch vu de notre époque. L'interprétation de Rubinstein, elle, n'a pas d'âge, magistrale et éternelle. Le Trio de Mendelssohn est anthologique. --
The “famous trio” fell apart when Heifetz wanted his name listed first, before Rubinstein’s. Rubinstein tried to explain that since it’s called a _piano_ trio, the pianist’s name always came first, although Heifetz had to have known it. Anyway, he got so annoyed that he took his fiddle and went home, a prima donna to the end.
Non so chi ha dettato queste abitudini sbagliate nei musicisti,per esempio Beethoven ha scritto sonate per pianoforte con accompagnamento di violino,ma tutti dicono sonate per violino e pianoforte: esattamente il contrario!
Chopin himself envies the great virtuoso of the piano, Lizst, so it's actually hard to say who's the better pianist. Nevertheless, he's still a great pianist.
Nathanael Chong Well, Lizst was truly a virtuoso, that said it doesn't mean he's the best pianist. If I'm not mistaken I think chopin also was quoted saying that he hated how showman-like Lizst played some pieces; kind of like Lang Lang today. And I certainly don't think Lang Lang is a great pianist. But in the end, this is subjective of course. My comment was just a timely joke haha.
Is actually when rubenstein was younger than this he performed with the navy ban in DC do you see where my dad played add plague 1st horn. Apparently he didn't like to practice and dad said he made too many mistakes. Clearly this is his early forties. Repeated later I clearly remember dad saying that is that Rubinstein self admittedly neglected his technique for natural talent. This is even repeated in Wikipedia. Nonetheless these performances are beyond superb.
No matter composer Rubinstein played, the music sounded utterly CONVINCING and captivating... For me, no other pianist is as satisfying to listen to. (However, to my ears, Rubinstein murders Schumann's Traeumerei
For those who noticed in the Mendelssohn Trio, part of the end of the first movement has been edited out, and the fourth movement wasn't included. To the average non-music savvy person who turned off the audio, this could have been a banker, an accountant, and a grocer getting together for the weekend.
GEORGE: Check out Byron Janis' Mercury recordings of the Liszt Concertos 1 & 2 that he recorded in Moscow in the early 1960's. They are positively amazing!!!!
After suicide attempt at 20 he found the life newborn again, said that every day is not a laugh but life, so if thoughts' just take little finger' it works but so if all time body soul heart is by bad thoughts devauered the BALANCE NO , but just a little finger
Rubinsteins mother before birth knew R. should be a pianist(studies at 3),Perlmann was happy not be put to ADHD hospital as a little child as l MANY TIMES WAS, Chopin had 3 sisters, a good mam and professore ELSNER, but mostly of seems to be put in (') ADHDhospial(' ) as the lion how must early transforms to a cheap
When I am asked on the spur of the moment to perform something at a gathering, I respond with, I am a musician, not a magician. You don't just pull it out of your hat or where ever with no warning.
Rubinstein studied piano at 3,Chopin supported by mother three sister even in piano+proffesore Elsner good+Zwini compared to my misstreatening family art killing and all this kicking heartstealing militarypeople
This must be one of the last times Heifetz and Rubinstein played together. The had a terrible falling out in the middle 1940's and the rupture was repaired. It had started with some strong differences in interpretation on some piano trios and then it got real personal. Too bad.
POSSIBLY. Jeffwads, it was sold or auctioned for charity; but most likely that painting, as special and unique as it was, and as treasured as it was by the Maestro, it is in the possession of his son, John, or some other family member. At least I hope that it is.
What a giant of piano and a true 'world citizen'. He brought me so much happiness through his recordings. May his legend live forever....
LOVE THIS FILM.
Thank YOU very much.

I've always thought his Brahms 2 was especially well-played. Another reason to think so.

"I am not an actor, I am a musician!" - Brilliant!

Wspaniałe to, że można odkryć co pamięta sztukę Wielkich Mistrzów
Its the best version of Pop the Weasel Ive ever heard, and he even manages to squeeze a little bit of his own interpretation in that!
he may be the pianist who has influenced me more than any other. I love this guy
Per me rimane insuperabile , il suo suono è unico.
Спасибо за фильм
The trio was a powerhouse, just perfect but what would one expect from the cream of the crop. Bravo
I read his autobiography, amazing

Yaakov Torrance: l agree with you TOTALLY!
The very best pianist of all the pianists l have heard...
agreed
Fabulous. Thank you.
The guy's head is blown at 12:15.
As is mine - as is all of ours. What a joy it is to hear him play
Amazing l'heroique. I love that little bit of stretto he gives in the descents! (For example at 42:37, 47:48)
Whats means stretto?
23:48 LOL Is that John Rubinstein? What a kick to see the star of Crazy Like a Fox sitting on Arthur Rubinstein's lap.

I really love his house .. where is it exactly ?

This must be one of the last times Heifetz and Rubinstein played together. The had a terrible falling out in the middle 1940's and the rupture was repaired. It had started with some strong differences in interpretation on some piano trios and then it got real personal. Too bad.

I wonder where that painting Artur showed off at 18:00 is located now.
POSSIBLY. Jeffwads, it was sold or auctioned for charity; but most likely that painting, as special and unique as it was, and as treasured as it was by the Maestro, it is in the possession of his son, John, or some other family member. At least I hope that it is.
