[@MishaSkripach]

TRUE! But, alas, to achieve this, one must gave up all his childhood and devote all his life to music! Like wizards, they do not exist separately from their art.

[@MishaSkripach]

@@johnbanach3875 I don't know anyone who started as a teenager and succeeded in getting full skill? it is impossible. Like sports, has to be started young. Bruce Liu began to play the piano at eight years old and was performing by the age of eleven. The technique must be developed before puberty.

[@carolasandrakaty]

​@@MishaSkripach not all of them gave up their childhood. Most of the good ones enjoyed playing piano as a kid. Doing what you love does not mean giving it up and for sure most of them had enough life experience by their adolescence to be able to express complex fellings like they did through music. That life experience is gained by living! I used to play 4h/day and had plenty of time to play as a kid and learn in normal school and read a lot of books and do everything else needed.

[@MishaSkripach]

@@carolasandrakaty ALL OF THEM DID. I was talking about really outstanding musicians, not ordinary ones who have a degree. Giving up childhood to devote to music is not a bad thing, it is very enjoyable for those rare people. It is impossible for them to go to normal school. Four-five hours of practice+ solfege dictation lessons+chamber music and orchestra+ second instrument+composition+masterclasses, concerts, rehearsals, travelling to competitions. It is incompatible with normal school life, and none of those great musicians ever attended normal schools beyond age 7/ They don't have time for books either, just getting along with the minimal school curriculum is the maximum they can afford. Vengerov at age 9 thought that strawberries grow on trees, he was so busy learning. I am puzzled why you put yourself forward as an example, as pianist Sandra Popescu by age 34 has not even been spotted playing with an orchestra at all, and cannot be found anywhere playing? I was talking about the top talent, top achievers, not music teachers for nurseries?

[@carolasandrakaty]

@@MishaSkripach you are a little agresive, calm down. 1. School is different in different parts of the world. 2. I have changed my name after marriage, I am not 34 y.o. and I have not studied a second instrument (although I also sing as a soprano in a choir). You are right, I am not one of the greatest (at least not yet), but for sure I did not went to music school because my parents pushed me to, but because I wanted it. There are kids like that. Not all are pushed by the parents. Sorry if you probably fell like you lost your childhood. For me is fun, I somehow get to fell like a kid even now. I see age as a state of mind. The piano was my favorite toy. So... again, don't judge all the people by your experience. I know not all the great ones were like me, acknowledge that not all were like you. It is kind of a spectrum this presure that parents put sometimes. But that is not a lost childhood, not always. Ask the great ones how they think about their childhood if you only belive the "great ones".

[@fredfeinberg3995]

Although I'm the last person to compare Wang to Horowitz, give Caesar her due: that is among the only technically flawless versions of that insane cadenza in a live recording, and she is ALWAYS like that.

[@beecolor]

​@@fredfeinberg3995 Yes, but without getting into a big debate, there's still a huge confusion that will live forever: technique is NOT about playing cleanly, it's only part of the technique. EVERYTHING is technique: having expression is technique, singing the melody is technique, having independent voices (like Horowitz) is technique, controlling tempo is technique, internalizing the music is technique (which Lang doesn't have), etc.

[@fredfeinberg3995]

@@beecolor Yes, of course. People have been saying this since Hofmann and Rachmaninoff, but I guess it still hasn't penetrated. I once read something on KZbin like "Lang Lang is the greatest pianist of modern and historical times". And all I could think is "it's sad if you live in a universe where you've heard recordings by Richter (and so many others) and can still think that." I recall one great quote from Jorge Bolet, "Nothing kills excitement like mere velocity". YES. I do have a sore point with this: Argerich. It makes me insane when people say "OK, so she can play fast", as if that's why she is world-famous. Feh!

The reason he makes face is the express the music.

Y’all have got to come to grips with reality: some folks are a little different. It’s what makes them great, and if it spills over into visible tics or “grimaces” as some like to say, that’s ok. Doesn’t bother me one bit UNTIL they start doing LIberace with practiced grins and comedy. Lang Lang is able to play what he feels, and his face goes along with it. Don’t embarrass him. support him.

If we could play the piano we wouldn't be doing comments

[@AntonPolezhayev]

@@alguien9710 hopefully you wouldn’t play the piano like this.

[@SunAndMoon-zc9vd]

@@AntonPolezhayev Why do you hope he/she wouldn't play the piano like the pianists in this video?

[@AntonPolezhayev]

@@SunAndMoon-zc9vd because there are tons of missed notes, inappropriately fast tempi for the style of music, and grimacing and clowning around, which is vulgar and repulsive.

[@Element-tu8jw]

The most phenomenal thing is that someone wrote the music. They’re just playing something that already exists

[@sethapongpaul]

Tom & Jerry would love these. 🐈 🐭

[@Krko0o]

At first I was thinking it will be the 1st guy doing that for 14 minutes, and I was wondering how is he not going to die in the process 🤣

[@prototropo]

Buniatishvilli missed out or messed up or mashed in every tempi that rhapsody offers, which is all those physically possible. It's reaffirming to know she can pull off a dazzler, but things do come in a certain order. Even rhapsodies.

[@bootattack8]

She's a breast pianist

[@KenhelExcallius]

I believe that was a cadenza, and not the friska part… Unless then yea… Too messy and Cziffra did it better

[@cynthiabeltran1680]

@@KenhelExcallius Yes, it was a cadenza and Khatia is the only one (on this video) who never beats the piano. She is kind! Cziffra's notes are heavy at this speed. To me this is the most important aspect: The sound itself. The same thing with the violin... A phrase... It sounds rough... To me it's over. I stop listening.

[@KenhelExcallius]

@@cynthiabeltran1680 oh for me Cziffra is just clean, there are also times where he’s able to keep up speed and maintain a soft and light tone, as seen in his hr 6 and hr4 octave runs at the end

[@SunAndMoon-zc9vd]

That moment at 1:37 when Lang Lang sees into the future of this video and he looks at you looking at him!

[@kv6373]

I can feel the pain of those pianos 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@IRONSHOVEL71]

Anyone else here wondering what it might feel like to have a pianist like these, play one of these songs on your back and spine?!

[@harrybs5090]

All of them very impressive pianists, none better than the others

[@skimask7776]

That first piece was a monstrous performance with supper jet speed. The only other two pianists I believe capable of reaching this speed are Yuja Wang and Mark Adre Hamelin.

[@xper2xper]

Looking at the facial expressions of Langx2, I am truly destroyed...

[@sol999__6]

yep, he is an idiot but play pretty good.

[@callmeishmael3031]

I couldn't tell the difference between the two. They both seem magnificent. What's that you say? There was more than one pianist?

[@dnata447]

Горовец вне конкуренции ! 👏👏👏

[@WalkerJones-r6k]

Katia is amazing. I strongly recommend Vinkingur Olafson; Probably the most promising of the new generation

[@gpcga]

4:45 When you're trying to stay serious.

[@silviapavani-devisser1150]

They are all obviously amazing (check Horowitz technique, with totally straight fingers!). But there is something special to Yuja which I'm not sure what it is. Perhaps she manages to completely amaze us with her amazing skills while making us relax. It could be that she maintains space and breathing even in the midst of the most ferocious passages.

[@lesegogaebeeyn4005]

I really need to learn piano

[@VitoriaGuimaraesdeFreitas]

An observation based on feeling and not expertise: I am no pianist, but is a common thing for me to hear, early in my life with a classical CD my mom played in our car for me to sleep. That soothed my soul... but i forgot about classical. Growing up as a restless anxious adult, since a friend introduced me to a tokyo ghoul OP played in piano that became my hyperfocus again. I saw more pianists playing in that year more that i can count, and really didn't saw why so many people thinks Lang Lang is one of the greatest pianist in the world by his masterclasses. Technique is not synonym of to be a GREAT musician. His plays sends me no goosebumps, the passagios arent building up, just throwed by him at no reason to the audience, and that may be how a music performer plays... Like, Hitomi uchara, she plays JAZZ piano, and the passagios gives more sentiment, they are buided even if is improvised. I dont see any beauty in the first piece of this video, the piano is like a woman, it needs to be touched properly to arousal. Like, you know? not going slow and SUPER FASTER, vice-versa. Do your own spin, but do the harmonica, match with the orchestra, for christ's sake. The styles played by Martha Argerich, Evgeny Kissin (he made me like to hear the highest notes alone?????) and, surprisingly, Yann Tiersen are the ones i am crazy about. Yuja slays too, she is SO GOOD, but is about the sound made by stiff fingers, many great pianists do that, i particularly hear and it ruins the play for me, it crashes my ears, idk how to explain... Prokofiev invented his own style, even with the rush of emotions that makes pianists play "hard" and make noises not music, he manages it well. Thats is what i believe, and hope i'll study some theory soon to evolve my ideas 01/10/2024

[@pamelalyttle]

His faces are ok with his amazing technique

[@wilson-y8d]

which one
