@nastyasophie Yes, a bit slow: and if you listen carefully near the beginning you do hear one clinker, an off-center tap of a bass note. Probably slipped in from his early years, when Rubenstein was a careless along with his flamboyance. Learned that from a "Reader's Digest" bio of him when I was a child back in the late 1950s. He withdrew from performing for 4 years in the 1930s, lived on his farm in New York, and practiced on an out-of-tune upright in the barn to retrain his accuracy.
@Leon1949Green since u kno so much about rubinstein, and since ur soo good, u could continually criticize him that way, going too far to learn all about his history, first, learn to SPELL HIS NAME...
@audreyhsux5727 Dear Audrey: sorry I offended you. Just offering my two cents, no harm intended. But my criticism was certainly not continual. The learning I shared was from long ago, not "going too far." Ur certainly correct re: my spelling. My own playing is of course no where near his, e.g. Rubinstein himself had wanted to do Schubert's B-flat sonata justice, so kept waiting until he would be mature enough. He later lamented that he ended up waiting too long. But I never got to it.
oh this is so beautiful. i am learning this piece on the piano right now . . . . . but i doubt i will ever be able to go so fast and play so flawlessly. wow. simply amazing. he has some serious talent! what a blessing.

this is a really pitifully- slow recording compared to Lipatti or Cortot. Still beautiful, but a little too slow.
