Recorded February 19, 1939 at the home of Dr. Karol Liszniewkski in Cincinnnati, Ohio. This video is interesting in that Rubinstein's wife was formerly married to pianist Mieczysław Munz [home movie also on this "channel"], who played often at Dr. Liszniewkski's home on Crown Street in Cincinnati.

  • I am 60 yrs old and saw Rubinstein in the 1960's many, many, times- he was a musical hero to many artists........This is for people who have seen Rubinstein, or love his records, he was a great human being and any record we have of him is a treasure-sound or not.

  • Of coure you can't hear anything! Dr. Karol Liszniewkski was a deaf mute and all of his guests acted accordingly! They even pulled the strings out of the piano...! Home movies, unless you had Hollywood-caliber equipment, did NOT have sound, even up to the 1970's!

    (Too bad! It would have been fun to hear the party "banter" and all - especially with Rubinstein the ranconteur holding court at the piano!!! Arf,ARF!

  • whooooo! look at all those women with cigarettes lol they may look classy in a video.... but smell like dog doo

  • Nice piece. Veeeery seldom to have colored moving pictures from that time. Look at the clothes. Look at the makeup. Lock at the facial expressions.

    Lack of sound almost is not important here...

  • Does she say, at 1:20 "Please, play it yourself"? That might mean that AR says something like: "I'm not shure I'm going to play...". It looks like it. But we long for a professional lip-reader to find out what he is saying...

  • No, its Arthur Rubenstein, a very prominent pianist of the 20th century.

  • i did

  • this Michangelii ?????

  • What's he saying? Perhaps something along the lines: "hey darling, would you like to play on my big piano"

  • lol :D

  • Hello

    Can someone who plays very well tell which pieces is he playing? And someone who can read lips who's he saying? ^^

    Thanks
