8:54

Listening to this for the first time right now. My jaw genuinely dropped at 8:13

This is similar to the beginning of season 25 of pokemon. In terms of egg cycles and its history, only Axew, Fraxure, and Haxorus fits in this theme. Or it could be season 7 episode 1 of beethoven series.

37:01 genius!

I think I’m cooked

Welcome back, thank you !

As happens with all great pieces, especially in our museum culture, it’s possible to overthink this. Yes Schumann struggled heroically with his mental challenges, but the Fantasy is not Kreisleriana, which disturbed Clara. It’s a young man’s outpouring of love. Andsnes plays it with no less complexity than many other pianists but with greater heart.

25:29 This rest...

That Michelangeli recording is simply magical. There's something especially warm and environmental about the reverberation, coupled with a masterful interpretation by one of the greatest. Bravo, Arturo.

25:51 best passage

In Anderszewski’s version, I personally don’t like how he plays an A flat instead of and A natural in the second part of the allemande. It’s the A natural that makes a huge difference to the music.

Rachmaninov’s music feels like ever-longing hope to return to his home country. His music is so Russian (not politics), but rather Russian nature, culture and soul…

how did you manage to make d flat sound good??

all so so useful, and a real good performance

Very nice interpretations, but you don’t do kissin justice by including his.

10:35 - 13:33 so charming...

book1のvar.14をこの速さと正確さで弾けるピアニストは限られる。 それだけでも価値がある演奏。

14:42 ❤️

1:08 saving this for later

Love those chords at 3:01

Who wrote the dynamics....

A zillion notes here. 😂

Everybody gangsta until the double whole note (breve) appears at 0:22

I always descibe rachmaninov's music going thrue a wonderfull adventure. And scriabin's music painting a beautiful picture. That is why this is called "white mass"

"Mate is this the finger games you play?"

too slow! and lifeless

6:35 Yundi reminding everyone that the piano is a percussion instrument. BAM!

The variation in voicing the left hand in the same passage is genius: 5:45 a) No voicing 5:57 b) Voicing the second beat of each bar (F# - F - F# - G# - A - F - F#) 6:06 c) Voicing the first beat of each bar (D# - E - F# - E - D# - E - B)

Wonderful PERFOMANCE, I think we should add more notes or even change the LH of the last two systems!

Clarté, précision, intelligence, subtilité, finesse, une merveille que ces interprétations. Mlle Hubert doit en être ravie au ciel.

I am currently learning this piece. This is a blessing from god to me. Can't wait to get inspired from these recordings and your lovely comments. Thank you in advance!

Eternal wonder!

1:06 voicing 12:01 drawn-out trill 21:20 decrescendo 23:53 leggiero 29:31 piercing high note 31:52 transition to slow section 38:54 47:33 satisfying sequence

I love this 😍😍

Pogorelich

Me like food ❤

There's some kind of crazy genius going on in the Grovsenor. Subtle, 3D stuff. From outer space or something.

paganini god save the king?

38:10 i love it

another round of scherzi! scherzi is such a funny word

is it bad for my favourite recording to be lang langs considering how controversial he is hahaha

Dang Thai Son’s performances of other scherzos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZyle5-Ar9yonJIsi=mo4F8QiOou6YLL6Y kzbin.info/www/bejne/parHaaiHjqp6bMUsi=df9JNEHLpaIuHVo7 kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGmZgZiDrMh7Y6Msi=SJiFCZ4PVoYI7FHa

Finalmente un pianista che esegue il concerto di Schumann per pianoforte con un tempo giusto!!

I can't get over the parallelisms of Pogo and Sultanov, especially at the end of that dev. section. If you listen to P's live performance in Italy 1994 (?), he positively blazes through quasi strettissimo all of that thick texture right before the recap - much in the same way that Sultanov does here. Chef's kiss.

Finally a Pianist that does the right tempos!! Listen to these moments: 0:00, 0:30, 1:05, 1:30 All seems so natural now...❤ This is the best recording of Schumann Concerto... Other famous pianists don't do the right tempos, they slow too much! Schumann didn't wrote adagio or andante at the beginning.

love this but this piece belongs to argerich

It is a delight to see you posting again, Ashish. I cannot decide whether Scherzo 2 or Scherzo 3 is my favorite of Chopin's scherzi. As Ashish points out, Scherzo 2 is so skillfully constructed. I've been listening to the piece for decades and never noticed the connection beween [inner] and the spinning triplets in the B theme. It's also fascinating how a simple change: holding the Fs at the end of the opening motif, when it finally comes back, completely changes the character of that figure.

every time I hear the opening, my hairs all stand on end this has happened for years and years
