Arthur Rubinstein was a classical pianist who scaled the highest achievements in the music world. The film documented his life from his childhood (being a prodigy) to one of his concerts.
I was immensely impressed with his precision in fingering and emotions attached to his history. I own several of his recordings. After viewing the documentary, I wished that I was an audience member of his playing. In a scene of a memorial, his eyes became swollen as he expressed most of his family was killed in the hands of the Nazi. He expressed gratitude of able to travel with his music from Paris to the United States. Music saved himself and his immediate family.
I read about his children in his biography profile. His son John Rubinstein is a current Tony winning actor. The late Rubinstein was proud of his son's successes.
I only knew his existence through his music. I was able to have a glimpse of his history.
