César Franck : Prélude, Choral et Fugue (Sergio Fiorentino)

[@marcorotondi7613]

Fiorentino é uno dei più grandi Maestri di tutti i tempi

Thank you, I never heard of this wonderful pianist. The best Franck I have ever heard. ❤❤

What a great sound! And again the question: 'Why hasn´t this miraculous pianist become much more famous as he was in reality?' - In fact, this is beyond comprehension. The fugue, technically much better played than Arthur Rubinstein did in his 'golden' César Franck rendition, IMO! Always masterly done..unmistakable! Very nice slight show!!

Although there is a slight bloop at 16:53

Il suono del Grande Maestro Fiorentino accarezzano l'anima elevendola al cielo. Un artista più unico che raro!

I considered Cortot a reference in this piece, but Fiorentino gives a sound and monumental performance here. A true pianist

I have not heard all the recordings he made in his youth, but I agree with you. There is a greater spiritual dimension in his playing (a secular one, like in this work). I have also noticed it while listening to other recordings of this period.

Splendido! Ho scoperto questo brano perché uno dei personaggi del libro che ho finito di leggere suonava sempre questo brano...

[@PMiss-gl8fy]

qual è il libro se posso chiedere?

[@kclee1]

Yeah wish to know too.

[@numestube]

che dire ... sublime ... le lacrime bastano

[@didierleroy6348]

Magnifique, stupéfiant, prodigieux, c'est un mixte o combien réussi tellement musical de Schumann et de FAURÉ !

[@manuelcarbonellflorenza4140]

Unsurpassed performance. Ausgezeichnet.

[@paulprocopolis]

An attractively spacious and contemplative account though pulling out the stops where needed and providing a resonant climax. With age, I think Fiorentino must have slowed down because his early recordings tend to be fast (e.g. the Chopin waltzes)!

Colossale e sì che, come amatore, ho avuto la fortuna di sentirne tanti ,dal vivo, alla Fenice e monumenti come Brailowsky , Cortot, Casadesus,Arrau,Ciccolini per non parlare di ABM ecc ecc. Ecco ,come disse ABM questo, è un ALTRO pianista,
