...a video recorded specially for my friends and supporters, whom I wish the very best for the holiday season... with ALL MY LOVE...
Rubinstein liked to recount the story how, in his mid-teens, he visited Paris as a child-prodigy and gave a public concert during which he played the piece presented here — an occasion on which he was declared a genius by the public although (in his own opinion reached later in life) every note he played was wrong... In his modesty, Rubinstein never completed the story by observing that he DID manage eventually to rise to the reputation earned so early in life... This story may serve as an excuse to attempt something of the same here with the help of a recording of his — a master performance delivered at the zenith of his career...
