That low C in the first study is so damn satisfying and powerful

Crazy piece of work to play.

Ça tousse..

I - is jazzy at some points

Here's what I saw: 1. A yellow stuffed toy 2. A butterfly puzzle 3. A yellow stuffed toy (again) 4. A shape sorter 5. A yellow stuffed toy (again)

this feels so wrong in so many levels i cant believe i have to play it

really interesting...

2:59

Prokofiev is a qenius of melodic phraziation and modulation of harmonies. No one has surpast this genius.

Just amazing sonorities

Structurally sound chaotic order. Fucking sick stuff. Humans are amazing

amazing pieces, i like the performance

Certainly stunning from a technical point of view. But I can't see any artistic value in this.

I like this very much. They are not really compositions but short soundscapes before that word existed. Very picturesque: you see the bear and the black woman whistling a blues tune !

I love how free the rhythm in the Nocturne is and then near the end suddenly a 6tuplet in one hand, equivalent triplet in the other but with a nested quintuplet flourish and a precise metronome marking of 66

Fantastic. This has everyhing you can imagine

Isn’t this the same melody in the first movement of vetrate di chiesa?

Copland wrote some lovely chamber music like the nonet and the piano quartet

I almost have all Cherkassky's CD's, but on none of them this Kaleidoscope was recorded. Not on Decca, nor on Nimbus. But on Februari 1988, I recorded this piece from an LP borrowed from a Lybrary on Cassette tape. So now I am happy to have both the score and the recording.😊

This interpretation is *actually* horrible

not a big gubaidulina fan in general, but this piece ❤ it's dark, fun, pretty and even funny at times, and i truly enjoy it

Très belles œuvre et interprétation !

I enjoy much 00:26-00:30 it,s so beautiful emotion

Браво!

❤❤❤

Should be called 'The Emperor's New Clothes'

Маленькая Чайковская Аппассионата😊

The first one sounds like it might have influenced Carter's Catenaires?

The music piece give me the sense that the style incline to the Romantic period

This guy didnt even write music.

amazing pieces, bad performance

Such controlled power.

Great perfomance. Still unpleasent to listen to. I've never been fan of Bartok tbh.

Великий пианист Эмиль Гилельс потрясающе исполнил великую музыку Дмитрия Шостаковича. Спасибо за запись.

Fascinating. All the classic Bartok Idioms and harmonic devices are there. Only a genius could make something so discordant and complex so fascinating, engaging and simply listenable.

Lele Adani brought me here

This piece is so powerful, and so brilliantly crafted, and full of arresting melodic ideas. The fact that this serious music was written when Copland was only 22 is amazing. One of the all-time great short works for piano.

Can somebody give the audience some cough drops?

I can’t even imagine how you read all those arpeggios in mvmt 2 with all those accidentals

1:02 best part

If Meshuggah was from the 1800s

全く知らなかったのであるコンサートの予習に参りました。最初一度目は真ん中辺りのみシャコンヌ？と思ったがじっくり聴いたら最初からシャコンヌだった。この様な複雑怪奇な感じの曲はは最近少し聴くようになったので慣れてきました。こちらは美しい所が随所にあり良く出来ているなぁと感心しました。

3:08 is my fav-it’s just such a cool little part

Wow amazing piece!!

The beginning of the first Etude sounds like constipation 😅

based Lutosławski

For those of you, who can't get rid of the feeling you know the main theme in the 3rd movement: after few hours of having it in my head, I recognized a mix of Bloch's Fugue from the Concerto Grosso and Shostakovich's own 4th movement of the Cello sonata. No idea if he had it in his mind, but I am satisfied. :)

My favorite version among the many ones here ... Not too slow, very moving. And most of all, the minimum required of rubato. This is insane how much rubato some great pianists feel obliged to put in this so beautiful piece of music. The music is absolutely wonderful and moving by itself: no need to add any "romantic" exaggeration !!!
