Movie Reviews of Artur Rubinstein
Movie Review: A Big Disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
After reading the 5 Star review on this DVD I purchased it hoping that if it even came close to this recommendation I would be overjoyed. Anyone if even faintly familier with classical piano has heard of Rubinstein who is certainly considered one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century. Unfortunately he is not one of the great actors of the 20th century and this staged production done,I'm guessing for TV or the schoolroom,is truly pathetic. The film is dark and grainey and the fidelity is awful.
I know this was made in 1953 so what should I expect? Better than this.
There are some wonderful classical performances on DVD with supberb audio and video so maybe I'm spoiled. If your looking for a great recording of Rubinstein buy the Phillips Great Pianists of the 20th century 2 CD set. You won't be disappointed.
Summary of Artur Rubinstein
This historic film captures the legendary pianist Artur Rubinstein in rare performance film footage. The first portion of the program features Rubinstein playing: Spinning Song (Mendelssohn), Liebestraum (Liszt), C# Minor Waltz (Chopin), A Major Polonaise (Chopin),The next segment of the program takes us into the home of Artur Rubinstein with the master performing: Prelude F# Minor (Chopin), Mazurka C# Minor (Chopin), Scherzo C# Minor (Chopin), Nocturne F# (Chopin), Polonaise A Flat (Chopin).
The concluding portion of the film is the result of LIFE Magazine's famous photographic story on the great soloists Rubinstein, Heifetz and Piatigorsky in rehearsal together. It is an intimate study of genius at work. The trio collaborate in:Trio in B Flat-1st Movement (Schubert) Trio in D Minor-1st, 2nd & 3rd Movement (Mendelssohn).
