Arthur Rubinstein Live Recital Warsaw 1966. Schubert B flat Sonata D960 and Schumann Carnaval Op 9

Wohl der ausgewogenste Pianist, der jemals auf Erden weilte. Vom delikaten Anschlag bis hin zum absolut männlichen Donnern, jedoch immer bis zum erlaubten sauberen und schönen Klang. Der ganze Körper ist von der Haarspitze bis zum Zeh beteiligt, das diese Lebendigkeit der Musik zustande kommt, die er mit allen Risiken eingeht. Rubinstein macht einen vergessen, dass er ein Mensch ist, aber ein Genie mit menschlichen Zügen. Was für ein Glück, dass diese Aufnahmen von ihm existieren. So wird man Zeuge dieser grandiosen Performance. Ein Edelmann, Grand Senior. Bravo, bravissimo!

A very well prepared instrument for The Maestro. Incredibly voiced and tempered with clean unisons throughout the registers.
And a great recording and/or remastering.

SENCILLAMENTE MARAVILLOSO

I've never seen the 1st movement of a Schubert's Sonata win an applause. His sound is so rich - his right 5th finger sings so profoundly that it could charm a snake. What an outstanding beauty.

Interpretazione straordinaria della Sonata e del Carnaval. Che spontaneità, che concerto! Mitico Rubinstein

Absolutely Divine

Quality sound, very appreciative! Genius outlives everything else.

What a disciplined audience, no coughing❗

El alma de la música

A few years before this performance, my piano teacher took me tp a concert he was giving in Cincinnati and he was stunning! Thank you, Mrs. Coughenour. You made such a huge difference in my life!. Very sadly she died in 2011 and I will always miss her.

Astonishing sound quality for a film thats over 55 years old. And what dignity at the keyboard. Technique that's trancended the technical and has merged with musicianship completely. its just effortless!

Se tomaban película. ,cómo la boda de mi hermana Thelma. ,Yo tenía 6 años.

This is the Piano Sound...in all its glory. Unlike so many scams...today.

He was able to produce such a sound, among other things, because he applied all the weight From his Back. That's the ideal technique (the smartest). And also the best one in order to get such an enormous sound without getting tired... (at least, as minimum as possible).

do you have a second half of this recital video or recording?
I love Chopin's Ballade in G miner.

Considerado el pianista mejor de todos los tiempos .

That Chabrier piece sounds like it's composed for a beginner pianist.

The mystery of life, great adaption...thank u so much

All those individuals in the audience have a very special story.
It's so strange, I was 1 year old when this recording was made, but all I remember from early childhood is the moon landing on tv (my father stayed up for it and I collected Apollo pictures). Not to be nasty, but those rockets were enginered by a former nazi, while at the same time Rubinstein was doing such a great job in Poland.

Erano unici veri artisti ed interpreti. Un epoca persa ormai è tutto un vaccaio e sfilate di moda virtuose . W il 900

Where is the 2cond part of the Program?

My advice to those who focus so much on the wrong notes: pay attention to the music. Sometimes if you exert too much effort on not making mistakes you lose the music.

Unsurpassed

His musicality was direct and to the point...in other words...simplicity! AR was never a neurotic, nervous, or "splashy" pianist. He was a musician first and foremost. Loved life, loved music, and loved people... It is that simple!

El primer pianista que escuche a los 7 años. ❤😂

you won't hear a better Carnival. such touch, sensitivity, technique.

Existe-t-il une version CD de ce concert ?
Merci

Perfekcyjnie doskonale A. Rubinstein - postać,technika,wykonanie utworów,dźwięk i strumentu👍👍👍👍💖💖💖💖💖💖 pamięć!!!!

EL MEJOR PUANISTA DE TODA LA HISTORIA

Superbe les couleurs et surtout la musique relaxante de arthur rubinsten❤❤❤❤😂❤❤

What a truly masterful pianistic giant, he indeed is! All piano students should learn every aspect of this pianistic genius, particularly my compatriots who tend to emphasize bodily gestures and facial expressions, while distracting away from true pianistic essence and spirit.

There a quite a few of superb pianists performing these pieces, including Sir Arthur. They all put their own “reading” to them,and that makes their interpretations unique. A.Rubinstein’s Schubert and Schumann are uniquely his, lovingly and beautifully preserved as they were intended to be played.

😇✨✨🙏💞💫

Unico

Welch bezwingende musikalische Geschlossenheit!, ohne jegliches unangebrachtes pianistische Mätzchen!

I love this recording and others like it, as a window into the past and different performance styles over the years. He's 79 in this recording - and an 18 year old in the audience would be 75 today. How amazing is the attention span of the audience!

Arthur Rubinstein is the personification of the Golden Mean.

No encore????

Welch atemberaubende Kombination von Eleganz und Tiefgang - durchdrungen von Menschlichkeit und Musikalität!

I like pianists. The great and the stray, The big wooden box with metal strings. Some dance it into the sky : Audio gives me a taste. Paper cones and D Class amplifiers sneak much of the noises they make into ny room, I am attentive and quiet. :)

Great man .

Rubinstein was the pianist I listened to the most growing up playing the piano and eventually having a career in music. His playing is so personnal and organic, not at all dry and academic. It sounds like he creating the music as he is playing.

❤

The shots of the audience show teenagers. They must be around now -- in their seventies. It would be great if some of them read this page and commented.

1966

Beethoven, siempre Beethoven. Insuperable, magnífico. Siempre me emociona y me asombra .
excelente aunque lo escuche un millón de veces me provoca sentimientos similares, como recién estrenados...

Didn’t repeat 1 movement exposition. Why not? Did he think it was too long? It was a full 35 minutes long without it but 40 with it.
