Artur Rubinstein´s great performance in Amsterdam from 1973 of the well known piano concertos by Beethoven and Brahms accompanied by the Concertgebouw Orchestra under Bernard Haitink.

 

“Rubinstein’s superb form is matched by the incredible musical sensitivity of Haitink and the orchestra.” (New York Times)

 

“Sounds and images are expertly cued to the split second…Rubinstein’s face, body and hands are captured in a smooth flow of shots and reflections…The Beethoven takes on an almost Mozartean delicacy, the Brahms is infused with the all the power it requires.” (New York Times)

 

“[To] Rubinstein’s still magnificently full and supple tone…Haitink provides suitably warm, expansive orchestral support.” (Washington Post)
