Arthur Rubinstein - Chopin: Piano Concerto No.2 & Polonaise Op.53 - Israel P. O. - Z. Mehta (1968) 

around this time he played in Jerusalem in one evening concertos by Mozart, Brahms, and Chopin, if I remember right, and three encores, one of them this polonaise, a beautiful Mazurka, it was intoxicating, I was about 18 years old. Unforgettable, until it is time to forget everything.

singing hands....he is ALWAYS singing, always

My mother attended a concert in 1943 in Washington where AR played with the Boston and Koussevitzky. Constitution Hall. She recounted the experience one morning in the 1960s when we saw AR play on the Today Show. She was almost in tears recalling the experience.

The supreme maestro, especially as a Chopin player. As a pianist, Rubinstein consistently inspires me to make music.

Arthur Rubinsten's technique on the piano is perfect and it suits his excellent way of expression and interpretation of chopin which proves and emphasizes Rubisten' s outstanding talent as well as chopin's Genius.

Chopin to najpiękniejsza spuścizna dla ludzkości.

レジェンド。ここまで泣かせてくる英雄ポロネーズはありませんでした。 私は彼のスタジオ録音のみをもっぱら聞いて評価していましたが、このホールでの演奏が1番です。悲痛な叫びとともに祖国への想いが伝わってきます。ありがとうございます。

Best tribute to his heritage. Did more for Poland that countless many. Maestro without equal.

Pure delight! Magical!

My favorite video Thank you for uploading.

Un tesoro 😍 que encontré. Rubinstein.

A real genius...

I had the great pleasure to hear AR in recital at UCLA in early 1967 at Royce Hall...That appearance of effortless musicality has almost completely vanished from the Bang-Bang school of piano-playing....AR actually practiced/rehearsed a LOT. However he had an amazing memory. The anecdote about being awakened in the middle of the night, and being able to play any of several dozen concerti was no exaggeration. Those who think that he skimped on practice should look up and READ accounts of the family by his son, John....

Il giovane (e affascinante) Zubin Mehta ha qui 32 anni, mentre Rubinstein ne ha ben 81! La differenza non si sente: il grandissimo pianista suona Chopin con la verve di un trentenne, ma con la consumata esperienza di chi ha alle spalle un lungo, meraviglioso itinerario artistico. Il risultato, in questa esecuzione di 50 anni fa esatti, è uno solo: un capolavoro.

Spectacular Polonaise!

this video should have a 1 billion views and 1 billion thump-ups

Beautiful.

Fabuloso concierto de piano!

rubinstein's playing is so so natural you expect a wrong note any minute. it sounds all so unrehearsed. Magnificent

This is a wonderful video. I find myself virtually hypnotized by Rubinstein's playing. The only downside is the VERY POORLY PLACED ADS which interrupt the music at really annoying times!

Diversa l'esecuzione fra Rubinstein ed Horowitz. Due geni della Musica che dovrebbero avere il dono della immortalità.

Que manos tan prodigiosas,son un don de Dios.

All Glory to the Creator who gave such Gifts to men

非常に美しくコントロールされた『ゆらぎ』のフレージングはソリストのテクニックを超えた音楽性、ポーランド人のショパンへの遺伝子に組み込まれた共感の発露なのかもしれない。指揮者が少々妙なことをやっていたとしてもソリストの存在に深い感銘を覚える歴史的な記録。

😇 Thanks ✨✨✨💐🙏

L' interpretazione della Polacca op. 53 e' un capolavoro !

0:48 - Maestoso 14:33 - Larghetto 22:57 - Allegro Vivace

Península de Yucatán.

Жалкие остатки от первого концерта !

I liked the video not because of Rubinstein's playing but because of maestro Mehta's conducting

Carmen Reyes.

a fucking advert came up in the middle of the seconde movement. what the fuck ? Man

What a pity this wonderful piece of music has to be interrupted every few minutes with a damn advert

Está muy grande el anuncio.

Poor Zubin never understood that even the fortes in chopin must still be elegant. NOT a hammer at the anvil.

i dont understand any of this.. how am i gonna answer this module!! Damnnn

I love the ending part of the polonaise in A flat...... the wrong chord sounds improvised ..... Rubinstein's version 🤣 with few wrong notes

And so what do these faces that mehta pulls mean ? Anyone know ? Is he angry or do we come in now or go out ? Toscanini never pulled any faces. It was all in the arm and rehearsals and work work work. No sacred cows there!

Goggle's red pay Bullies just interrupted the first movement with not 1 but 2 advs. Like Putin and the Ukraine, bullying me does NOT work. What can we do to stop it?? For one, I will NEVER subscribe and will start writing to companies whose advs appear!

Das ist wunderschon deine hand ist eine geschenk der gott fur velt keine vort

Revelation 22:12 "Behold,I come quickly,and My reward is with Me,to give to everyone according to their works." REPENT AND BELIEVE!! FOR HIS KINGDOM IS AT HAND!!! Romans 10:9 "If you confess with your mouth,'Jesus is Lord' and believe in your hearts that God raised Him from the dead:you will be saved." Revelation 1:3 "Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy,and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it,because the time is near."

so much banging on the octaves..Chopin turning in his grave with dismay

the richness of rubinstein's sound and no texture no phrasing from that crap orchestra and conductor. They are not making any effort for music at all. Just coming in anyway and anyhow they please.

The greatest Chopin interpreter at the piano accompanied by a clumsy Indian with an unmusical banging orchestra.
