Rubinstein at 90 – An Interview with Artur Rubinstein filmed at his home in Paris in 1976

Synopsis

Quotes from Artur Rubinstein's interview with Robert MacNeil: "There isn't such a thing as the greatest pianist, not anytime, or anyone, or anything. Nothing in art can be the best. it is only different." "… I've thought about the reason for any success I have had in my life… There is a certain antenna: there is a certain secret thing…which goes out, emanates from me, from my emotion, from the feeling. This…projects something which I do feel. It suddenly puts the audience into my hands. I can do anything. That is a great, great moment." "I do think that we have reached the point of too much technique and perfection and there will be a reaction… Make music instead of having too much technique." "The piano must be played with a feeling, to get the legato, to turn it into an instrument of singing."
