Thank you :) www.patreon.com/cmrr Le concerto de Chopin connu sous le nom de n°2 a été en fait le premier à être composé, entre l'automne 1829 et le début de 1830. Le n°1 a été écrit entre avril et août 1830 et publié en 1833, tandis que le "fa mineur", en raison de retards dans la préparation des parties orchestrales, n'a été imprimé qu'en 1836. Il contient des éléments qui devaient rester caractéristiques de Chopin, par exemple le type de figure rythmique pointée qui ouvre le Maestoso et que l'on retrouve tout au long de son œuvre ultérieure. Ce premier thème est en effet mémorable, et le passage orchestral initial prépare bien l'entrée dramatique du soliste. Habituellement, le rôle de l'orchestre est subsidiaire, les responsabilités du piano presque continues et souvent élaborées sont presque autosuffisantes. Il n'y a pas de véritable développement de la forme sonate, car c'est plutôt la partie de clavier qui élabore et commente les thèmes du mouvement avec fantaisie et invention constante. Le Larghetto, le mouvement lent de Chopin est le cœur de ce concerto, et il est peut-être significatif qu'il ait été achevé en premier. Une grande intensité lyrique est transmise, et l'écriture au piano est encore plus originale, surtout dans la section déclamatoire centrale, une sorte de récitatif instrumental. La musique folklorique polonaise a sa place dans le finale de ce concerto, un Allegro vivace. Il s'agit d'un rondo à grande échelle avec des épisodes aux contrastes piquants et une partie solo plus ouvertement athlétique que dans les mouvements précédents. Le résultat reste cependant à la fois pittoresque et expressif. Le Concerto en mi mineur suit un chemin similaire, mais de manière plus décisive. Il a été composé alors que Chopin et ses compatriotes espéraient l'indépendance de la Pologne. Les Russes ont dûment écrasé l'insurrection en septembre 1831, mais l'esprit héroïque de l'Allegro maestoso ne fait aucun doute. Comme son équivalent dans le Concerto en fa mineur, il n'est guère un chef-d'œuvre de structure formelle, et le fait que Chopin s'en tienne à la tonique pour les deux premiers sujets est très inhabituel. Il est vrai que lorsque le premier sujet réapparaît en do majeur au début du développement, l'effet est saisissant. Et les faiblesses de la forme et de l'orchestration semblent relativement peu importantes par rapport à la poésie et à l'éclat de la partie soliste. Comme dans le concerto en fa mineur, le Larghetto central, que Chopin a intitulé "Romance" en l'occurrence, est une explosion de mélodie passionnée. Pièce calme et mélancolique, elle est suivie d'un rondo, dirigé Vivace, qui est en mi majeur comme le mouvement lent, bien qu'il commence dans le relatif mineur. Il tire une partie de son caractère de la "krakowiak", une danse de la région de Cracovie en Pologne, à temps double rapide et réputée pour ses rythmes syncopés.

Rubinstein is still one of my favorite classical piano player. No flashiness. Precision with passion.

Listening to classical music is like a journey through history. It's incredible to think that the compositions we hear today have been cherished for centuries.

How lucky we are to have these wonderful performances preserved for posterity!

1969 was the year I discovered the great Rubinstein. These days I’ve become so sentimental that I tear up! Friends with whom I shared this love have passed on .😢

The first live piano concert I attended was in Barcelona Palau de la Musica in 1969 and the pianist was Rubinstein, in spite of his age he was so full of energy, at the end of the concert I had tears in my eyes because I knew that I had been very lucky to see one of the best pianists of all times, a true legend, and ever since I have attended, and I still do, some unforgetable piano concerts with the best pianists!!!

Still the greatest pianist of all time, and listen how beautifully the orchestra plays for him. They adored this man. The end of an era of greatness never again to be heard or seen. 1887-1982. Chopin himself could not play his works so beautifully with such a golden sound, his signature genius and with such unbelievable clarity, like a painting fashioned of pure sunlight. And hear how he follows each soloist, gracing their interpretation with his own. The rubato in these timeless recordings will never be surpassed. Bravo for posting this treasure!

Rubenstein plays masterfully. He lets each note come out beautifully.

CUANDO LA EJECUCIÓN DE UNA COMPOSICIÓN DE CHOPÍN LO HACE RUBINSTEIN, UNO TIENE LA SENSACIÓN QUE LO ESTÁ EJECUTANDO EL MISMO CHOPIN, ES MARAVILLOSO.

This is my most favorite rendition of Chopin's concertos 1 and 2. Mr. Rubinstein is masterful!!!

Perhaps the finest Chopinist of the last century.

아침부터 서너시간 동안 계속 반복해서 듣고 있습니다. 그냥 계속 피아노 소리에 머무르고 싶네요. 말할 수 없는 기쁨과 감동으로 인생이 충만합니다. 좋은 것을 베풀어주신 쇼팽과 루빈스타인에게 감사합니다

The very difficult measures between 12:37 and 12:50 are exquisitely performed. Rubinstein is one of the greatest pianists of the last century.

Nothing mote beautiful and excelllent!! A Rubinstein is the one that knows and feels Chopin like no others!!! Thanks!!!

The melody is so beautiful in the first movement, I cannot keep the tears back

Superb,atunci cand geniul componistic se intalneste cu geniul interpretativ, Chopin si Rubinstein!! Multumim pentru postare,un regal! Silvia Baciu

Jakże cudowną wyobraźnię i wrażliwość musieli mieć kompozytorzy w dawnych epokach począwszy od Bacha... Mozart, Chopin, Czajkowski czy Rachmaninow... akurat tu wymieniłem moich ulubionych kompozytorów, ale lista przecież jest długa. Wagner? Potęga i moc, Musorgski - który uczył się grać jako dorosły facet? O... dziś młodzi w większości wolą bzdety i elektronikę. Wychowujemy pokolenie odwrażliwione na piękno. To naturalne, czyste w formie. Pozostaje kicz , disko polo i ... dopiszcie sami.

This is my favorite piece of music ever, there is such hope coming out around 16:20 and I'm never fed up listening again and again. Thank million times❤

And now I can understand the 1st one and how Rubinstein is Great pianist. His version is my fav ever.

In the green room of Symphony Hall in San Diego in the mid-1990s after a performance of Bruckner's 4th with Stanislaw Skrowaczewski conducting the San Diego Symphony, I mentioned to the Maestro that one of my treasured recordings was the one he made with Rubinstein of the Chopin 1st. He lit up and said, "Ah, Artur; we had such fun making that record!" It remains my desert island recording of that work. (Incidentally, the recording engineer was the legendary Kenneth E. Wilkinson.)

I believe today is Rubinstein's birthday and was always part of my musical listening and learning!

If there is perfection, this is it! Artur Rubinstein's recordings of Chopin Piano Concertos 1 & 2 presented here are the best I have ever heard. Since I grew up listening to my dad's old classical LPs, I never had an appreciation until I left home for college and began listening to these recordings again. As Chopin Piano Concerto #1 became my all-time favorite piano concerto, I began listening to ALL other recordings, collecting LPs and CDs, attending live performances, and now KZfaq (including competition playing too). This also included the multiple records made by Rubinstein (#1 in 1937 w/Sir John Barbirolli-London Phil, 1953 w/Wallenstein-LA Phil, 1947 live w/Walter-NY Phil, etc). You can't get any better than this. As such, after 1,000's of listening pleasure over 4 decades, Rubinstein's playing (particularly in this recording) still ranks the top of the heap by far! It's his (famed "golden tone") playing combined with the masterpiece itself. I consider the touch, phrasing, tempo, subtle dynamics, and musicality that contributed to his superb playing. Lucky for us, this recording was a gift from heaven to mankind! (This also holds true of his RCA recordings on Chopin's Ballads, Scherzos, Polonaises, Nocturnes, Mazurkas, Impromptus, Sonatas, and miscellaneous works - notice I didn't include his waltzes here; not his absolute best). I could go on and on but that will be another blog...

Rubinstein talks to and caresses our heart when he plays Chopin. Those who say perfection does not exist in music making should listen to this recording.

Невероятно, но я уже в течении месяца слушаю эти записи по нескольку раз в день. Удивительно, не надоедает!

What a recording! Thank you CM/RR.

This is a truly remarkable performance.

1st movement 3:52 (theme 1) / 4:18 (theme 2) 5:12 [agitated & urgent] 6:27 [theme 3] 8:06 [quasi coda] 9:26 [orchestral intermezzo] 10:25 [theme 2 major variant] 11:38 [quasi coda] 13:29 [reprise - orchestra] / 14:08 [reprise - piano] 15:03 [reprise - agitated & urgent] 16:03 [reprise - theme 3] 17:52 [coda] 2nd movement 19:43 20:38 21:22 22:00 22:42 [thirds] 23:20 23:57

Frederic wrote the music for Artur to play. They shared Polish air. Polish childhoods. Polish blood. They shared a close tie we are the blessed to hear.

Das erste Konzert ist eine wunderschöne Aufführung dieses romantischen Meisterwerks mit brillantem Klang des Soloklaviers und gut harmonisierten Töne anderer Instrumente. Der erfahrene Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im lebhaften Tempo mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Das zweite Konzert ist auch eine wunderschöne Aufführung dieses lyrischen Meisterwerks mit klarem Klang des Soloklaviers und perfekt synchronisierten Töne anderer Instrumente. Der geniale Maestro leitet das perfekt trainierte Orchester im gut phrasierten Tempo mit effektiv kontrollierter Dynamik. Echt unvergleichlicher Pianist!

L'interprétation de Rubinstein dans ces deux concertos est remarquable; lumineuse, sans mièvrerie, élégante et souple. Je ne vois que Martha Argerich qui puisse lui être comparée. En plus sa vitalité, qui se ressent dans son jeu, est exceptionnelle. Je crois qu'il a joué jusqu'à 80 ans passés.

Piękno muzyki Fryderyka Chopina to fenomen graniczący z cudem . Wielkość Chopina jest niezmierzona i poza wszelkimi schematami ❤️

Absolute perfection. Chopin and Rubinstein transport us to the realms of Heaven.

I was lucky enough to have first heard the 2nd movement of this for the first time having just moved into a farmhouse with a beautiful woman I'd fallen deeply in live with less than a week before. Her laughter (28:22-29:05) is captured herein perfectly. Life is good....

In crying feeling this Song ita wonderfullll i love It so much...I don't want , to cry, but my tears fall from my eyes...........,❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Chopin & Rubinstein!!! Great DUO since ever …….

There's an excellent live performance of the E minor Concerto from February 9, 1947, with Rubinstein and Bruno Walter that is more exciting than any of his studio recordings. And great as he was, there are many outstanding Chopin recordings by other artists such as Cortot, Horszowski, Novaes, Francois, Lipatti, and others too numerous to mention.

1:00:25 to 1:02:30 absolutely amazing.... pure bliss for the soul

J'aime trop Chopin il y'a une partie de cette note qui me fait pleurer et ébranle mon âme entière

Que divino!!! Divindades como Chopin e Rubinstein permanecem intactos ao longo do tempo! É como um sopro de vida esbanjando arte e beleza por todos os portos! Deus abençoe ambos onde quer que estejam!!!

Thank you, Lord.

Chopin is where my soul rests

Formidable Rubinstein

Esa expresión única y prístina en las manos y mente musical del Maestro Rubistein , única con esos acentos en cada dedo de sus manos como si cada uno tuviese su propia mente . Precioso e inmortal.

I grew up with this kind of music in the 60s this was what my father always played on the stereo so heavenly it was definitely Rubinstein ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Que belleza! Gracias!

Aniversariante de hoje, parabéns à todos nós por você ter nascido querido CHOPIN. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

The concert for piano and orchestra No. 1, composed in 1830 and consists of 3 parts. It is one of the great works of the composer and one of two for a complete orchestra. ♫ Chopin composed the Piano Concerto No. 2 in 1830, at the age of 20, with the first presentation on March 17 of that year, with the same soloist, in Warsaw. Issued after Piano Concerto No. 1, and was named No. 2, although it composed it before 1. It consists of 3 parts, characteristic of the Romantic period. The 2nd part, Larghetto, is a pure pleasure for your ears, an absolute example of the Romantic period.

The voicing beginning at 5:12, simply sublime, never heard it this clearly in a performance of this concerto before!

Arthur, jamás dejo de escucharte día tras día, tus manos sobre el piano son bendiciones para la vida, ya que una y otra vez traes de regreso a la vida a Chopin y tantos otros.... Ellos viven eternamente a través tuyo Arthur, y dónde hoy estés agradezco tu existencia, tu genialidad y tú humildad

Браво Артур Рубинштейн! Браво дирижор и оркестр! БРАВО компо

So beautiful and invigorating...Chopin and Rubinstein got soul!!!!

아름다운 연주곡 잘 들었읍니다~감사합니다~🎵🎻🎹🌿🍀☘🌹🌹☘🍀🌿❤❤

Nadie como Rubinstein para interpretar a Chopin...

Une version de rêve...un enchantement de tous les instants. ❤

김영삼은국리민복을위하여서인욕의삼당합당을하여민주화의대부가되셧고정부가분노와증오의표적이되지않게사법정의구현을하시다가수천억을부정축재한노태우로부터배신자소리를들엇는데윤석열은의리의사나이가인 생관이니미래가어둡지요❤

Magnificent ,perfect . Thank you Classical Music .

i don't understand people who don't like classical music.

Низкий поклон, Друзья. Это превосходно. Могу слушать бесконечно🙏🙏❤💖🔥🔥

My teacher of classic piano was Lydia Alimonda . She was assistent of Rubinstein. Once he said her that a pianist must prepare himself 150 % in order to execute 90 % of the total preparation.... Important words!!!

Élégant et souple chaque fois que je l' entends tendrement j'apprends un nouvel essai ..Adorable

I think Arthur Rubinstein is one of the greatest interpreters of Chopin,alongside Vladmir Ashkenazy and another great pianist of mine in the world of Chopin`s music is Tamas Vasary,both of these concertos here beautifully performed here by Arthur Rubinstein,originally released on the RCA Red Seal label,is definately one of my all-time favourite is Piano Concerto No.1 in E minor,Op.11,is the second movement and reminds the wind breeze in the spring evening,and so beautifully the piano and the strings blended with the woodwind,and I still like the piece so much.

Que extraordinario escuchar el larghetto del concierto Nro. 1 por Rubinstein y Skrowaczewski de junio de1961. con un nuevo sonido, y divisar atrás la colección de discos vinilo 33 1/3, que están volviendo en gloria y majestad sonoras.- Gracias por esta puesta.

Fue un excelente pianista ❤

MAGISTRAL ❤❤❤

Just found out the most replayed feature. Nice work YT. Thanks.

Браво Маэстро Рубинштейн!

Музыка прекрасная и исполнение Изумительное. Браво!

it is be in the heaven...unvergleichlich....graciassss Herr Rubinstein

Браво!!! Почему это так редко исполняется? Великолепная музыка! И сложная, может поэтому и не исполняется...

El inolvidable e incomparable Rubinstein👍

The best!

In his day A Rubenstein was considered one of the most capable virtuoso pianists of his time. Wonderful we are able to still hear and see him perform.

Goosebumps, tears, joy!

Thank you so much for posting this, Skrowaczewski is possibly my favourite conductor. Just like Sviatoslav Richter and Rubinstein himself, he focused on the music and just the music. None of that disgusting, glamorous attitude that divas such as Karajan were famous for exhibiting.

So beautiful!!!!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Questa musica e questa interpretazione sono una grazia di Dio

A única arte no mundo que retornará para a glória do Eterno.

Oh Good Lord! To be able to listen to such music memories such Beauty such Ethereal performances before I go, too... Thank You, oh Lord!

Excellent!!

今、私は暇を見つけてはルービンシュタインの演奏を聴く様にしております。実は、私は現在、人生を賭けて、創作に取り組んでいる最中なのです。そんな私にとってルービンシュタインは心の師であり、憧れの芸術家で御座います。分野は違えど、私は少しでも彼に近づきたい、と毎日、祈る様に頑張っております。しかし本当に心から癒やされるルービンシュタインの演奏で御座います。私も芸術家のはしくれとして、改めて彼の素晴らしさを思わずにはいられません。ただただ有り難い事で御座います。

Sempre fantastico ed attuale ! Che peccato che ora i ‘canoni’ interpretativi volgono soltanto al compiacimento tecnico e non al periodo storico e armonico !

Какое наслаждение!

Браво!!❤

Magical performance.

Браво!

Chopin por Rubinstein y/o Argerich es sublime.

Beautiful music.

Impecável!

Chopin/rubinstein!..oui.

Sublime, merci.💝

Merci.👍👏❤

Спасибо.

Bello!Gracias!

unvergleichlich....Herr Rubistein...danke...graciasss

Este concierto me acompaña desde mi niñez. Lo amo!

최고다!!!!!! 역시 루빈스타인
