Artur Rubinstein - Beethoven: Piano Concerto No.3 - Concertgebouw Orch. - Bernard Haitink (1973) 

That it why he was still able to play like tjis in this age!!!!!!

Towards the end of his life when his eyesight had faded so that he could no longer reads music it was suggested that he might retire. His response was that he no longer needed to read the music as he had 40 different concertos off by heart along with over 100 solo piano pieces and could play any of them to concert standard at the drop of a hat. He was not joking

Una interpretación extraordinaria, con una potencia, belleza, una riqueza musical......

50년 전 루빈스타인 80세 넘은 나이에도 연주하는 모습 외경스러웠습니다

This and Grieg,s Piano Concerto are now my favorites!!!!!

all the old pianists were taught to put all their emotion into their *playing*, and nto to throw it away in their gestures. Modern pianists however....

Impeccable🎹🎼🎶🎶🎶😊

@@MrRjcosta impeccable but an iceberg

Rubinstein was fairly animated in concert up into his early 80s. Here, he’s probably in his high 80s, but Beethoven was never really what animated him. His typical movements include raising his arms high off the keyboard at the strike of a very accented chord, possibly the end of a phrase; raising up out of his seat for huge accents; and making his hands “dance” the part - holding them high and coming down strong on chords. Technically, most of his “animation” is just the way he plays at the keyboard, but he was more animated than a lot of his contemporaries like Horowitz, Abbau, Richter, and such.

Блестящее исполнение, какое слышание всей фактуры. Его нужно слушать постоянно, только такая временная связь может приблизить любого мыслящего исполнителя к пониманию Бетховена. Того Бетховена, жившего в своё время, а не теперешнего, порой с космическими темпами.

Credo sia molto difficile rendersene conto.

Indeed! Rubinstein and Horowitz occupy a rarefied and sublime realm of interpretive brilliance. Ineffable here. . .

Fantastico, grande, immenso!

Hola 👋. buenas noches.

Agree with these comments. Wonderfully elegant expressive performance by Rubinstein - what a uniquely stylish pianist he was. But I was also very impressed with the conductor Haitinck. - he seems to effortlessly generate weight and momentum from the orchestra while keeping it totally under control and musical. A great combination, these artists. With a bit of help from Beethoven!

If you think classical pianists are bad, smooth jazz sax players are way worse. I play straight-ahead jazz sax and they are crazy!

GRACIAS!!!! Coincido !!!!! No tuve el privilegio de escucharlo en persona pero siempre digo que los pianistas de esa época, que eran absolutamente maravillosos y eran famosos por sus interpretaciones, no por internet, no miraban al cielo buscando la inspiración divina, no agitaban el cabello largo ni hacían poses para la tv. Tengo un título de música, y no lo comprendo. Realmente cuando se necesita ejecutar una obra, hay que concentrarse mucho y no buscar público que no entiende y solo admira las posturas. Seguramente ahora creen que hay que exteriorizar los sentimientos que transmite la música, para que el público los comprenda. cosa que advierto es que ahora tocan a más velocidad de lo que marca la partitura para lucir sus capacidades circenses y no observan los tiempos marcados por los compositores. Saludos

@@JeffreySaxophoneTallNewton que tiene que ver esta respuesta?? los pianistas clásicos son malos'??? a quien estás respondiendo? y que tiene que ver el jazz en este lugar??? es una música horrible. se equivocó de lugar.

@@matgaritafetnandezparga553 Sorry you're not hip enough to dig Jazz. Now go listen to some Bill Evans or McCoy Tyner or Keith Jarrett (also a great Classical pianist) or Herbie Hancock, etc. Oh ... Herbie played with the Chicago Symphony as featured soloist ... at age 11. Or listen to Art Tatum. Might have been Rubenstein (or Horowitz or Rachmaninoff) who said they would quit if Tatum played Classical. "Horrible" music? Nope.

Rubinstein is 86 years old here.

I heard him 5 times in London, including his final recital at Wigmore Hall in 1976, I first heard him in this concerto in 1960. He was one of the greatest I heard. To be fair, though, I think Yunchan Lim's performance at the Cliburn has set a new standard.

An experience of a lifetime!❤

No kidding! This is like the all star game of maestros!

Simply magnificent!❤

Argerich still plays.

Don’t forget Kissin a true genius equal to any of the past

저도 선생의 의견에 매우 공감합니다.그런데 한국어 구글 번역이 어색하기 짝이 없습니다. 특히 끝부분 "음색이 이 세상을 벗어났습니다" 가 아니고 '음색이 매우 훌륭합니다' 라고 해야 됩니다.

To mines too!

je decouvre cette captation qui sert des artistes de légende par un son et une image impeccables, au moins par rapport à la moyenne sur YT et donc pour une audition via internet; et, pour les aficionados, je signale que cet enregistrement va de pair avec un autre, du 1er de Brahms (avaient-ils enregistré ces 2 énormes pièces du répertoire d'affilée, Rubinstein ayant en passant 86 ans ?)

"Pélican méditatif..." LOL En tout cas, enregistrement exceptionnel, heureusement.

@@paulbizard3493 moi aussi, le pélican méditatif m'a fait rire. Beau texte, M. Roger Maes!

Commentaire tellement juste et que j’aurais adoré écrire !!!! Merci Monsieur de l’avoir fait je ressens chaque mot que vous dites !
