Arcadi Volodos - Horowitz/Sousa Stars and Stripes Forever

[@SnorttyRickRoll]

What a masterful video to post on youtube containing one of the most patriotic peices in history. Volodos truely has immense talent to play three and four part melodies at once and at the tempo he preforms at.

Still watching this October, 2021. Best version from someone not named Horowitz.

What can one say? Absolutely brilliant!

@pvonberg And if the two versions had been released in reverse chronology, would you be saying the same thing about the Horowitz version?

[@HermanIngram]

?

[@TBlev215]

@meistersinger92 Oh yeah, playing piano like that will get your forearms jacked!

Nice job, Volodos. Probably the worst camera editing I have ever seen. Was getting motion sickness watching this video.

[@ParthaDey97]

Volodos is awesome! However in terms of piano recitals with stupid editing, take a look at Lang Lang playing Paganini/Listz étude 6, the camera doesn't focus on each position for more than a second!

[@pvonberg]

No I wouldn't write the same thing if it were in reverse order.Maybe you can't tell the difference between the two performances. I certainly can.

Tempo is way too fast. Valery Kuleshov does it best.

[@HermanIngram]

The tempo is fine, but the performance lacks many critical agogic accents. Kuleshov is terrible.

[@pvonberg]

Nice try. Reminds me of those painters who produce fake Rembrandts. At first glance you think you're looking at a Rembrandt, the guy reproduced everything perfectly. Then you realize the work is a brilliant imitation.That there is nothing of the artist's 's own vision. Flying fingers, yes. Horowitz'z demonism, subtlety, sly wit, no.

[@HermanIngram]

It doesn’t measure up to Horowitz, but it’s the best re-creation by anyone so far.
