I don't think heaven would be complete without Chopin's music....
-
I'm New to classical music 61years old. I have missed out of this Brilliance my God.
-
Rubinstein really owned this famous piece. He plays it with such fervour and grandeur but avoids exaggeration.
-
This is my favorite Polonaise written by Chopin. Rubenstein interpreted this music piece very well, just beautiful and “heroic.”
-
Rubinstein once said in an interview that this piece of music was the " closest to his heart ". I don't doubt it. He plays it with such passion. The world is badly in need of artists of this caliber. They are so absent from our landscape. God rest Mr. Rubinstein. ✝️❤✡

Wow, his left hand, those octaves! Mr. Rubinstein is amazing!
-
Rubinstein is my favorite pianist. He imparts a nobility to the music.
-
Horowitz and Rubenstein, the grand old men of Chopin. Both truly remarkable.
-
So beautiful and stirring; I miss old Europe; they gave so much to this world !!!!!

My grandmother heard Rubinstein at Orchestra Hall in Chicago in the 1920s. She and my mother heard him there in 1950. When I was 22, I attended his last recital there in May, 1976. I vividly remember his impeccable performance of Chopin’s Scherzo, opus 31, no. 2. His artistry spanned 3 generations of my family over 50 years. He performed in Chicago for over 60 years. His enduring legacy was his ability to enrich the lives of millions of people worldwide over a career that spanned nearly a century.

Whenever I listen to Rubinstein's Chopin, I can't help but think that there's something very special about his performance. Something that can't be replaceable.
-
He played that piece until he was about ninety and yet still managed to keep it sounding fresh...😊 He made it his own...well done,Artur!

Artur Rubinstein - on of the greatest maestros of all time, sentitive and artistic mind. No one like him could play Chopin, this melody is pure Polishness which Rubinstein deeply and intenssive felt.
-
If I were an aspiring pianist and listened to this performance by Mr. Rubinstein , I would be both intimidated and inspired. Youtube provides us with the ability to compare many fine performances of this wonderful piece by Chopin. In my not so humble opinion , this rendition is perfection and beyond compare.
-
An absolutely splendid rendition by the master, Arthur Rubinstein. I can not believe the swiftness of his left hand!
-
It is so easy to exaggerate this truly legendary polonaise . It is easy to exaggerate Chopin’s music in general. Maestro Rubinstein has always been acutely aware it . A genius playing music written by another genius.
-
Chopin is a great blessing to the world civilization.. Life will be different without his music...
-
Fabulous! Still lhe best performer ever. Each individual note flies through the Air, as breathtaking mixed flocks of birds. Every note vibrantes, individually, in its beauty, staying airborne in a magical, musical airshow -- never colliding with any of the other elements
-
No Composition Ever Written by man has ever so Completely Embodied The Greatness And Nobility of The Polish Spirit like this one !! Hats off to Mr.Rubenstein who Throughout his long and Storied Career always did great justice to this Composition !!!...

This should be Poland's national anthem
