    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".

    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.

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 violinist was playing the tune and the Gestspo asked if it was Wagner....he said yes to save his skin. It was implied Chopin was banned becsuse of the beauty and hope.

      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.

As for timing, the man is 88 years old over here and still possesses a profound quality of touch, sonority and affection.

    This is one of greatest masterpieces composed in the musical world, in my opinion. The piano concerto is amazing in sensitivity and touches us deeply in our soul. The romanticism of the work is sublime and superb. The interpretation is admirable, the best I heard until now. The sentiment and the technique of Rubinstein are incredible. The harmony and cadence are amazing. I hear this concert many times but this is really the greatest and the best interpretation I know so far. Bravissimo!!!

Rubinstein represents the musical hero for countless pianists, capturing the essence of Chopin's work with impeccable technique and profound expressiveness. Every movement of this concerto is an emotional journey, a musical tale that connects the listener to the most intimate parts of the soul. His interpretation, a bright beacon in the world of music, inspires generations of artists and enthusiasts, leaving an indelible mark in our minds and hearts.
    Thank you, Maestro, for making history and for always inspiring us with your art.

    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!

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.
