Perhaps at age 12, as a piano student, my parents took me to a Rubenstein concert in Washington, D.C.
What an experience! (I'm 73 now)...not just the wonderful music, but also the vivid charm of his manners, dress, movements on stage, graciousness towards the audience and pure dignity.
The video is impressive, but only a faint echo of being there. The first record I bought myself was a recording of AR's Chopin noctures. What a gift to the music loving world.

@MrDavek959

I am also 73 and also went to hear Rubenstein in Washington. it was with the National Symphony and I think I was about 15 and I think Rubenstein played the Schumann Concerto. I'm pretty sure Howard Mitchell conducted the orchestra.

A nice experience, I'm sure ! But it is sad to admit thats all people leaving comments on that video are over 60... What are youngers loving and listening today, Rap ? Those have nothing to do with Rubinstein... that's a great preoccupation for me and future new artists. Who will be able to play Chopin that way in fifty years ?... I don't know.

Chopin moves me and fills my senses like no other. This concerto is my absolute favourite piece of his. The emotions race and tumble downstream, then gently flow into a calm lake softly lapping at the water’s edge. Clouds float by, birds sing in the trees, love is in the air, I feel peace and contentment. He breaks my heart and then I am in love again. Love never dies in his music, he always gives us hope and a sense of purpose. Do you feel it too?

A local orchestra (which included a lady who later became one of my profs) prepared all week for the Maestro to arrive for the run through before the evening's concert. They begin the intro. He waves for them to stop. "What is that you're playing?" Such and such concerto was the reply. "That is not what I prepared!" Stunned silence. He closes his eyes, flutters his fingers over the keyboard a minute or two. Looking up at the conductor says "all right, go ahead".

@@jiimbow Being a compatriot of Chopin does give him that edge, yet he also went back to the drawing board and did the rudimentary work of honing his skill when he felt that his playing became sloppy. As for timing, the man is 88 years old over here and still possesses a profound quality of touch, sonority and affection. There is something ethereal about his playing of Chopin that I find in no other pianist. I am not trying to persuade you to believe as I do. After all, to each their own.

@josephineprocter7042

You are quite right. I quote from Joan Chissell's book on Schumann. (Page 198) as follows:
'His enthusiasm for Chopin dates from his first article of 1831, containing the now famous sentence: 'Off with your hats, gentlemen--a genius,' and in all his subsequent writings he acknowledges Chopin as a true representative of the 'new poetic age'. ALSO:
in Judith Chernak's book on Schumann, the Faces and the Masks (page 258) she writes: ''New Paths'' could be seen as a companion piece to Schumann's early review of Chopin's "Mozart" Variations, in which he hailed Chopin as a genius." To all lovers of Chopin's music I would recomnend your acquiring the Alan Walker's biography of Chopin entitled
'Fryderyk Chopin....A Life and Times' available both in hardback and softback. A fantastic , comprehensive read , illustrated and including extracts from his compositions.

I auditioned before the great Rubinstein in Los Angeles as a child as a member of the National Fraternity of Student Musicians at about age 9. I did not know who he was then, except as a judge of my performance. I didn't realize how great he was as a pianist until much later. He gave me good marks on my performance evaluation, and I got a gold NFSM pin shaped like a piano. A good grade was all that mattered to me then, today, I watch his white hair and strong hands and fingers on the keyboard in awe. He didn't have white hair when I played the piano for him, and I don't remember if he said much to me. Today I watch him in awe for the great man that he was and awe at his masterful performance, staid and under-dramatic, his music says it all and that is what is so beautiful and moves me to tears at the end of his performance!
I can't believe he is age 88 here and to see the agility of his hands performing is just awesome!

The hands of the Master. His art, his musical eloquence, his strength, his tenderness, it is all channeled through his hands. He doesn't move his body to call attention to himself, nor his facial expression except to glance almost imperceptibly at the conductor. I just love it how Mr Rubinstein uses his hands to convey the message of the music that obviously sings in his own heart. Thanks to my mother, he became my favourite pianist when I was a child. He's still the best. And Mr Previn, well, he's such a great conductor, words fail me. Thanks for sharing this. Greetings from Australia.

The best performance of all times of this eternal masterpiece.
At 6:26 starts something impossible to describe, ineffable, mysterious, breathtaking, touching.
The whole is a sinol of perfection and passion🎵

Sono d'accordo. Si tratta di un passaggio, di una transizione tra un prima e un dopo. I primi 6:26 minuti servono a caricare di tensione e di attesa quell'unico momento in cui tutta l'energia accumulata si scarica e si trasforma in qualcos'altro permettendoti, amaramente, di cantare.

When I was 12, My Mom took me to my 1st Carnegie Hall concert during its 75th Anniversary celebrations. Rubinstein was on the program and my Mom took me backstage to meet him post concert. That's when I learned that my maternal Grandfather knew him. He and my Mom had a chat and Mom have me an unforgettable memory.

There were two guys chose this concert this years at Chopin’s International piano contest..
Both played very good but I came back to Rubinstein’s concert. His is very deep and something catches my soul. I listen this music every night. I like this conductor, too.

Always we need to return to Rubinstein because he is Chopin!

We are still greatly privileged to be able to listen to these great masters of the past. In this world where things have gone awry, it is music which lifts us to a higher level of being, brings us joy and makes us believe in the beauty of the creative side of humanity. Rosa Larsen

The many years from elementary through college of symphonic participation and ensuing 30 years as an avid audiophile has provided an exploration that has enriched my life. Keep the arts alive in the classroom and celebrate the flower of our shared Western civilization.

Rubinstan, un genio assoluto mi è sempre piaciuto quel suo tocco pianistico particolare. Poi c'è da dire che è stato, a mio avviso, il migliore interprete di F. Chopin in assoluto!

In the 80s I was working in Poland, where Chopin is a national hero. Every 5 years they have the Warsaw International Chopin Piano Competition. It lasts a week or more and Poles were glued to the TV every night. We bribed and were lucky to get tickets for the final, and this was the test piece. As not a piano expert, it was nevertheless fascinating to discern it played in different ways by the 6 finalists. Fabulous experience and this now my favourite Chopin.
