he was completely blind at that age and played only by touching the keys. how marvelous a pianist he was.
He was definitely not completely blind till his death. Stop talking nonsense about something beyond your intelligence
@@FrancisAsin-Gioro why using such strong words like that. You are a sick person indeed.
I love how his hands are trembling at the beginning, not sure where to go. But once they gain confidence, they make the same glorious sound they produced for decades❤😢.
his playing still brings me to tears
Rubinstein is one of the few who can captivate with the quiet rumble of basses and the balance between registers. In this sense, this intermezzo echoes Schumann's Dreams.
WOWWWW After playing many schumann piano pieces I can see how this shows schumanns composition style.
I feel Like Rubinstein is one of the greatest pianists, he understood music well at the age of 4
This Intermezzo is by Brahms 😅
This is the best video on the internet
When young he was very close to a circle of genuine Brahms heritage. The heritage never dies away a bit even at his age.
The young man sure showed respect.
0:15 & 0:32 THIS is the difference between a very good pianist and Rubinstein - one of the greatest, even if he is in his 90s. It's so natural, so flowing, yet so simple. I can't find any other recording which sounds like this. Well, apart from Rubinstein's studio version. He was right - "play it simple". If only it was so simple to do...
Why do you think the studio version of Artur Rubinstein? The studio version was played by Rubinstein, who is the same, and I'm curious about your thoughts
God Bless Brahms and may the memory of Rubinstein be for a blessing
Rubinstein!!!!! One of the Gods of piano!!!!!!! Adorable 🥰
my tears do not block my ears from hearing
Bro is blind and well into age but plays better than 98% of pianist I hear today
A great read is Rubinstein's two volume autobiography.
He knows how to bring out the "Gold"....
I think his is the best version of this piece.
Oh my that sound, that weight.
Wow so good
Great man.
Господи вы послушайте как у него с первой ноты потекла мелодия, ненавязчиво, просто, фраза сделана изумительно, все слушается без сучка и задоринки.
да бросьте вы ставить лайки всем этим современным хайповым чувакам, это не даёт нам никакого проку. только уменьшает количество Рубинштейнов потому что в них исчезает потребность.😢
Nice balance

Jarring that such beauty in a land that brutally occupied its inhabitants.
You won't be able to enjoy much music anywhere, from that perspective. Do you find performances of Brahms in New York or London jarring on account of the fate of the Chagossians?
@@verysmoky3605 My comment was restricted to the existence of institutions that promoted classical arts while an occupation and ethnic cleansing continues in the background to this day. You'll find similar appraisals of art made during other horrific periods (eg the Reichsorkestar).
You'll also note that I used the word beauty, suggesting that the music itself can transcend its immoral composer or circumstances such that even brutes like me can enjoy Wagner for example.
I would recommend the speech made by Daniel Barenboim challenging an israeli politician about the plight of the Palestinians.
@@SuperKripke I chose my example carefully. The Chagossians were expelled from their homeland after the occupation of the West Bank in '67. They experienced total ethnic cleansing and to this day are refused the right of return (despite international law and admonitons by the ICJ). By those criteria, there's nothing that should make a masterclass in the Jerusalem Music Center more "jarring" than one in the Royal College of Music or Julliard. A comparison to the Reichsorkestar is really not necessary; beautiful music is performed and enjoyed across the vast Asian and African continents despite countless wars, ethnic cleansing, human rights violations that dwarf anything that has happened in the southern Levant in recent years. Neither Operation Searchlight nor the 750,000 Afghan deported refugees nor Kashmir plague my conscience while I listen to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Barenboim is an important voice (not to mention a remarkable musician), but the fact that even he is the subject of boycotts from the other side (BDS, Qatar, etc.) unfortunately reveals some of the naivety that underpins his political views.
@@verysmoky3605 Your response is a masterclass in whataboutery and a cornerstone of Zionist hasbara. Next you'll make the same analogy about Israel being about as big as New Jersey and that we shouldn't pay attention to the occupation and genocide. Rest assured friend, there is some pedant on this platform that has commented on a video about the Chagossians' ethnic cleansing, asking us why we aren't paying attention to Kashmir or Gaza.
It is perfectly reasonable to comment on how jarring a performance or masterclass in the US if we knew that Coloureds or Jews were excluded through Jim Crow or de facto segregation. Similarly, at the time this masterclass took place, scores of Palestinians remained displaced as a result of second Nakba and the massacre of Shabra and Shatila was in their near future. The idea that the elites of Israel upheld the customs of Europe while pretending to be the indigenous of Palestine and ignoring the plight of the Palestinians is jarring.
The one silver lining in your comments is that it appears that you accept the jurisdiction of the ICJ. Presumably this means you welcome the decision that the occupation is illegal and will accept a genocide has occurred when they render the verdict?
he couldn't find any notes, he totally lost...
😅😅
he was blind
Rubinstein’s lovely sound, what a beautiful sound!
