At 88, Artur Rubinstein showed no trace of losing that quality of "joie de vivre" that had so fascinated audiences for almost three quarters of a century. The true Rubinstein sound, full and sonorous at every pitch, was always one of the distinctive marks of his playing ever since he began appearing in public. Rubinstein's performance of Grieg's ever-popular piano concerto, accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra under André Previn, is a perfect testimony of his notion of a "singing tone". With playing that is by turns vital and poetic, extrovert and reflective, rhapsodic and poised, this performance, filmed in April 1975 at London's Fairfield Hall, is Rubinstein at his warm-hearted, lyrical best. He devoted himself particularly intensively to the works of his fellow countryman Chopin and set standards in Chopin interpretation with his unsentimental playing . In 1976 he withdrew from the concert stage in London with a farewell concert, and in December 1982 he died in Geneva at the age of 95. 88歲高齡時的阿圖爾魯賓斯坦並沒有失去其近四分三個世紀令觀眾如此著迷的質量。魯賓斯坦的真實琴聲，每一個音調完整而鏗鏘，一直是他的特殊演奏標誌之一。魯賓斯坦彈奏格里格日益受歡迎的鋼琴協奏曲並由倫敦交響樂團及安德烈•普列文指揮下，完美見證了其富有詩意，但又外向和狂想。 拍攝於 1975年4月倫敦的費爾菲爾德音樂廳，是魯賓斯坦在他的熱情，抒情的最好表現。魯賓斯坦亦致力深入演奏同鄉蕭邦的作品。魯賓斯坦於1982年12月，在日內瓦去世，享年95歲。 ComposerEdvard Grieg TitlePiano Concerto in A minor, op.16 Length34 minutes ComposerFrédéric Chopin TitlePiano Concerto No.2 in F minor, op.21 Length34 minutes TitleScherzo in B flat minor, op.31 Length10 minutes ConductorSir André Previn SoloistArtur Rubinstein OrchestraLondon Symphony Orchestra Video DirectorHugo Käch
