ARTHUR RUBINSTEIN in HAMBURG (1966) - NDR documentary

This clip was made in 1966 by the North German Radio when Arthur Rubinstein came to Hamburg, Germany to inspect his own favorite, personal Hamburg Steinway D-274 piano, which was dropped from a crane somewhere while he was taking it on tour. It was sent back to the Hamburg Steinway factory for repairs. The event took place in a room at the Steinway factory in Stellingen, a suburb of Hamburg. Unaware of the cameras and microphones, Arthur Rubinstein improvises and plays snippets of well-known works in a most wonderful way. Rubinstein notices one microphone and does not give consent to record, but I suspect they fooled the man and recorded it anyway to broadcast it later. The presenter reads an explanation (supposedly Rubinstein changed his mind about permission to record/broadcast after two hours of playing), which sounds like falsification of history to me.
P.S.: I know German, but if you click "CC" (enable subtitles), you get a translation, the quality of which I cannot guarantee.
