I stumbled on this as I was looking for Toccata. Must say, I've heard this piece many times, but your playing, Pablo, is the most captivating of all. It took my breath away!

[@IBRAHIMpianist]

The best performance for Toccata, on KZbin!

[@mcsantos57]

Such expression! I've always loved this piece, but it's nice to see someone who plays as if he's really feeling the music. Thank you, Pablo! I've added this to my favorites.

[@parencibia]

Thank you Misslylanovacek! Khachaturian died on 1978, so he is definitively a composer who worked recently. Being strict I don't think we can call him "contemporary" based on the fact he passed away more than 30 years ago already and also based on his music. Best regards, Pablo

[@erdavis7]

This may be the best rendition I've heard. An outstanding interpretation!

[@dawggonecrazee]

I have listened to so many versions of this great piece.You certainly did it justice !!Thankyou for your performance.

[@parencibia]

His version of the Toccata when he was still a child is excellent!

[@parencibia]

Thanks a lot to all of you for your words. I am happy to see that you like my version of the Toccata.

[@TheHappyHamster]

Wow! This is the first time I've heard the Toccata, and already I can't wait to learn it! Very rhythmic and infectious playing, and an inspiring performance overall. Great job! :)

[@carmenpopa6276]

It is indeed the best interpretation I've heard so far... You are a very talented pianist and composer!

[@parencibia]

Thank you so much. It's very energizing to receive this kind of comments. I tried to do something new while trying to respect the original remarks. ---- Muchísimas gracias. Es muy alentador recibir estos comentarios. Intenté hacer algo nuevo respetando las indicaciones originales.

[@parencibia]

The last few comments that all of you have left are particularly meaningful for me. Thank you very much!

[@mashafey]

Best rendition I've found on youtube, beautiful! I'm playing it right now as well :)

[@DrPewMD]

Very well done I loved the way you phrased everything and the accents. Best one i've heard.

[@parencibia]

Thank you so much for your encouraging comments!! I am happy to know that my interpretation is meaningful for you!!

[@parencibia]

Thank you Rumonik. You are always so sweet...

[@AHN5D]

great performance! Enjoyed it very much. Thank you.

[@xxsam8912]

i really like this interpretation, its my favourite out of what i've heard so far =]

[@parencibia]

Thank you all for such nice comments! I read and enjoy all of them!!! I feel that this interpretation is particularly "mine" so it's great to see that you like it.

[@NaurozNoahTanya]

@parencibia @parencibia I heard your play and many more pianists in the world playing this Toccata including myself ,but honestly there is no one I like except your beautiful performance, I don’t know were you come from but what I know for playing this kind of music it is more about feeling and living with the music an like classical music when it comes to the feeling .

[@danyluis]

Pablo: ¡Increíble interpretación!... Felicitaciones. En verdad, lamento mucho no haber podido ir a tu concierto en el Aula Magna. Será para la próxima. No dejes de avisar, por favor. Un abrazo, Dany.

[@parencibia]

Thank you KansasDude. I am happy that you liked it!

[@FreedomMarySnakeDayk]

Oh God..... I'm so proud to be Armenian ...... Thanks

[@Xoynoyen]

Por fin una interpretación de alguien que no se pasa el tempo de la obra por el forro! XD Ésta es una gran interpretación, oh sí, mucho mejor que la de gran cantidad de pianistas que tocan esta obra como quieren. (también es cierto que no hay muchas indicaciones en la partitura...). Un saludo de un intérprete de esta obra agradecido XD

[@kinderjazz]

I love your interpretation.....thank you !!!

[@IBRAHIMpianist]

Great !!! You know how to "fell"... Amazing performance!

[@emilyfil]

Bravo!! very nice performance

[@parencibia]

Thanks a lot for this encouraging comment!

[@IBRAHIMpianist]

Great, Pablo!!! Congratulations.

[@parencibia]

Thanks for stopping here to post your comments!

[@alterI4]

This peice is certainly much more impressive live! recordings do take much from the actual power and dynamic. this performance is amazing nonetheless, i am learning this at my university!

[@mplsjockboy]

Thank you, Pablo. This is the "best" interpretation I've heard. Except for the rubato sections, I don't believe Mr. Khachaturian wanted weird variations in tempo. (You honor the fact that a quarter note shouldn't keep changing its value measure to measure - and I appreciate that. Ha!)

[@parencibia]

Danny Glass Thank you very much for your comments!!

[@parencibia]

Thank you all!

[@pianolizo]

Felicidades pablo!! Me encanta tu interpretacion!! Estoy estudiando esta obra actualmente, quien es tu profesor?

[@Soittava]

amazing nuances

[@parencibia]

Thanks a lot for your comments!

[@parencibia]

@pianolizo Muchas gracias pianolizo. En mi página web puedes ver los que han sido mis maestros (La encontrarás en la descripción del video porque aquí KZbin no permite publicarla) ¡Que disfrutes mucho estudiando la Toccata!

[@carmenpopa6276]

Amazing!

[@misslylanovacek]

I like this piece & the pianist is great !! I have a question.. Khatchaturian is composer modern or contemporary? thank you to answer me =))

[@hucbald37]

like this. very well articulated. that you take so much time at the right place... and parts of the andante could be even slower and be sung out... sadly i was not allowed to by my teacher when i played this piece in my exam... so thank you so much for this video!

[@parencibia]

hucbald37 Thank you so much for your words! I am very happy you liked it. Good luck!!

[@pianistinblues]

@parencibia i think in the middle part is too fast because the partiture dont change a time this easly

[@SignorCaruso]

B R A V O ! S U P E R !

[@99Grigor]

An odd sort of "encore" unless he just finished performing the Khach Concerto.

[@parencibia]

Hi all: I have realized that for some reason the sound quality of the video is quite choppy. If you want to enjoy a better sound, please download the MP3 from my website: pabloarencibia . com Thanks!

[@EdoTensei]

I'm guessing its the woman to the left of him(piano).

[@ineeknow]

you should listen to Dimitris Sgouros.

[@Singing1993]

Too thanks you, recently I must compete this song, your piano played very well may let me study. the ps. The red hair woman behind you excessive is eating the chewing gum . Taiwan's Cherry

[@ida550621]

我怎麼看到蔡頭.....!

[@ceinwenbran]

shame the lady sitting behind him looks so bored and chewing gum.... disrespectful!

[@1964tamsin]

Great performance, wish the leader of the 2nd violins had left her chewing gum in a bin though!
