  • Alfred Brendel?

  • @xxxine2009, No. Read: Artur Rubintein. This comes from "The Rubinstein Collection", I can't remember which volume.

  • dear advisorC, thank you for allowing me to hear this music again. I am grateful to you. I am aware that there was much unhappiness in his life, but this movement has explosions - some are very small, and some are big and fierce and ecstatic - they are Beethoven! Also, I never heard Rubinstein play a Beethoven concerto until now. I always thought he'd be "too much." That was foolish of me. Thanks again, advisorC. (i like saying your name, advisorC. it's catchy, in a nice silly way.)

  • @1945didi, there are two reasons why I chose that name. The first is because I was playing a game at the time where I took a fascination with creatures in it called "advisors". Not a particularly nice bunch either. The second is because calling yourself advisor on youtube of all places will ensure that whenever I find myself in the middle of a controversy, the truly idiotic commentators usually try to create some futile insult from it. Which has always failed hilariously.

  • @1945didi, and as for the rest of your comment. I too was very surprised when I found this recording. It's very difficult for me to be satisfied with a performance of this concerto, particularly this movement. So far only Rubinstein and Murray Perahia have really knocked it out of the park for me. There's also this other pianist I heard but I forgot his name now.

  • Certified Intergalactic! I vote to name a group of stars after Arthur Rubinstein, to be called the Rubinstein Constellation.
