このガヴリーロフの演奏が最強

Beautiful interpretation by Gavrilov. Thanks for posting.

[@НадеждаСоболева-н7м]

Лучший Исламей на моей памяти.

[@oneginee]

This piece is said to be one of -the no 1 most difficult- piece in the piano repertoire. After listening to it the first time, I am far more interested by how movingly beautiful it is. Amazingly i want to learn it because of its beauty only.

[@nitron7162]

Rach Sonata No.2 is harder

@@nitron7162 .. and not popular.

@@oneginee because it is extremelly hard

@@nitron7162 I don't entirely agree, if it's hard and not pretty then nobody is interested.

I do love that middle section. Beautiful. And the finale... :O

[@Sublime60]

Islamey I heard you play by all the great but this is the only label more precious and elegant that there is

[@notsure002]

A riveting work. I've always wondered how this piece could be adapted to Irish dance, particularly in the segment 0:23 to 0:33.

[@trynity7]

Something tells me the notes force certain dynamics out of this person:) Beautiful.

[@kungfuman82]

It stopped playing at 2:30 for some reason. This piece is so epic that my internet can't handle it.

[@debussyman88]

I really like this version!!!! The piano is a bit bright for quality purposes but interpretation is stunning!!!!!

[@svenno0007]

the ending is sick :p

[@onepiece5973]

@Liduniya played by Andrei Gavrilov.

Those arpeggios at 3:40...

[@Ryan_gogaku]

This is really quite nice. I like many of the decisions he made, like slowing down on the final octave rush. During the slow section, I would've liked more from the LH countermelody, and at 1:10 and 5:28, I think it would sound less murky with the sostenuto pedal and not the right (sustain) pedal. If I can pull that pedal trick off, certainly Gavrilov can. Overall, this was a beautiful, commanding performance of a soul-crushingly difficult work.

[@turtleforlife11]

Chuck Norris plays this with one hand.

[@plumbersteve]

There might actually be more accidentals than notes here.

[@piratesmanX]

this is the world hardest piano?

[@raphtx]

It actually is.

[@RichardHIm-ye9jq]

Islamey is hard, but Gaspard de la nuit (Ravel) and Petrushka (Stravinsky) are considerably more technically difficult (and longer).

[@Zdrange03]

Liszt is

[@nitron7162]

@@RichardHIm-ye9jq Rach Sonata No.2, Stravinsky Firebird, Rach Concerto No.3 and Prokofiev Concerto No.2 are harder than Scarbo and Islamey

[@muscimath]

Fuckin' Chuck Norris!! Always in the comments!! >:C

[@bettanies5864]

One of the hardest pieces to master rhythmically is Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu... My younger 12 year old sister plays it...

[@Liduniya]

Omg who can play it?

[@Eztoez]

I'd say Godowsky's Chopin Etudes are harder by far

[@机龍之介-x6j]

これはガブリロフだけれど、オグドンの終わり方と同じパターン、ベストな終わり方。これ以外ないと思うんだけれど、結構違った終わり方をする人がいて、正直ガッカリすることも多い。「最後まできて、これかよー、中途半端な生き方だ」、なんてね。後半の和音の連打も音が割れてなくてきれいに入っているし。ガグリロフはカセットテープでしか聞いたことがなく、もっと硬質で大味な演奏で、たしかＢ面にプロコフィエフの「悪魔的啓示」が入っていた。おどろおどろしい演奏で、ピアノが叩き壊れるのではないかというくらいにガンガンいく演奏であった。

[@oneginee]

could be, but personally I think there is more depth and beauty here. It's difficulty with a purpose. And so are the original Etudes by Chopin which i like very much too. Godowsky's treatment is a musical nightmare.

[@bejamillion2]

almost as good as pogorelich's

[@AlbertoFerro]

@massimiliano123123 Io preferisco quella di Brendel e Berezovsky...

Bruce Lee beats the crap out of Chuck Norris anyways....
