Great performance. Played like a human musician and not like A computer on steroids. Beautiful rendition. Congratulations.

[@jonathanm.9801]

I love it how all the comments are either about his rubato, the violinist chewing gum, or how the violinist has some feelings for the piano guy.

[@joshuahardison6712]

his interpretation of the middle section is by far my favorite

[@pabloarencibia6116]

Thank you so much Joshua!

[@jonasboros7283]

Bach préudium a fuga c dur

[@Cassu1987]

This is the best version of this song I've heard. Everyone likes to play this way too fast and it just becomes mush, especially the middle section should be played just like you did, enjoyig every note. Personally I would play the part that kinda repeats three times with less rubato, but your version is interesting too.

[@hansdekorver7365]

Also Sona Shaboyan is good.

[@johnsummers9790]

I always think it is played too fast. This is so much more musical.

[@narek335]

This is a best performance,that I found on KZbin.Bravo!

+Narek Armenian Wow, thank you Narek!

[@HB7c]

Felicitaciones! Para el talentoso pianista Pablo Arencibia por su magnífica ejecución de la Toccata. Bendiciones! Desde Durango, México.

[@MrStrav81]

Admittedly, I have never been a huge fan of this piece, but this is such a wonderful performance of it. It has such life and color. Really beautiful. It breathes and has a pulse. This might change my opinion of the piece.

[@federicocanedo5333]

The best version in the world

[@piano345]

Lovely performance with effective rubato and dynamic shadings.

[@parencibia]

+piano345 Thank you so much!!

[@michaeltraub3614]

I don't care for the rubato.

[@almasters566]

Beautiful job. Many pianists perform this like it is on steroids and miss the beauty of the melodies. Mr. Arencibia great performance.!!!

[@paul-zx5du]

Best performance of this piece on KZbin. 👏

[@alejandrom.4680]

That's exactly how the middle section should sound like!! This is my model of interpretation! Superb

[@rickovery]

My sister played this in junior high school. She won awards all over the state.

[@johanssonb]

No wonder why. It's as haunting and beautiful to listen to as it is difficult to play. My older brother used to be able to play it when I was little and it got me mesmerized.

[@rickovery]

@@johanssonb I too was mesmerised.

[@parencibia]

Thank you for visiting and for your comments!

[@IBRAHIMpianist]

His rubato makes his interpretation unique!

[@lanam1921]

Это исполнение завораживает! Прекрасно!

[@pianist779]

Why is the violinist chewing gum.

[@davidetenerani7039]

She's really educated…

[@JL-ChopinH2O]

I KNOW RIGHT the entire time in the close-up I was just staring at her jaw going up...down...up...down it was incredibly distracting

[@marinas5114]

He plays like Armenian...Thank you!

[@tigranvartikyan4952]

perfect!!!

[@lilithsmith1290]

One of the comment was very Interesting : He plays like Armenian ! What do Except ? That Toccata is writing by Khachtorian Witch was Arminian ,and whoever is well practiced in the art of playing Piano will play that piece the way was written.

[@Brauhlio]

oooo, increible!

[@lorettaslovak7735]

Yetziro Venni very musical performance the best thank you!

[@luketuke02]

Nicely played!

Marisa estoy en Madrid en casa de Nati ,cuando balla a Cadiz que será cuando pase el frio nos podremos ver?

[@jembartlett]

I like this version. Nothing wrong with a bit of rubato, even in a Toccata! (the horror!). Agree with others who say many other versions are so fast and hard, it sounds like mush or a computer-generated performance.

[@berklee24365678]

cool

[@user-cs8og7fz4f]

厲害

[@gevik.Alahverdi]

one of the best performance but not with "Yamaha" piano !!! sound is so metalic

[@gregfleishman8437]

Khachaturian, performed by the young John Cusack.

[@mnachovhannisyan3083]

This song made by Aram Khachatryian

[@rickovery]

Khatchatourian

[@MrCasism]

I don't like the rubatos. It's Toccata, supposed to be rhythmic, not a soundtrack of Walt Disney. Ok, mid-section ok, but 1st and 3rd?

[@pcheber]

Isn't that a young John Cusack?

[@gordonlin6120]

1:21 he didn’t play enough of the b flat. He missed like half a measure

[@igocha1939]

Очень вольное и не всегда логичное рубато.

[@philtro99]

I am so horrified by that woman who is CHEWING GUM ON STAGE holy shit that's so unprofessional

[@BoneyPlatypus]

When did it become about professionalism, rather than the music created? Not saying you're wrong that it's unprofessional... I thought the same thing. Just an observation from the other point of view

[@ShaolinMonkster]

So what? :S

[@maxwellspiano3580]

I wonder if this comment can get 1k likes in a year :)

[@theodorealamar9958]

One of my least favorite versions on KZbin

[@rickovery]

And, it"s one of my favorite.

[@user-lm4qy3po4x]

why is the violinist chewing gun on a stage eww X_X

[@dpodsful]

She wants him! lol

[@Relocate_me_TTravel]

Оборин намного душевнее играет, вкладывает душу в игру, а у Вас, просто чистка с выпендрежем

[@farhadnawab7642]

This performance just didn't work.

[@vlnvlaclogbaerhpno]

Too much rubato.
