This performance of Schumann's Carnaval is considered legendary for good reason. 66 years after this performance, it remains the gold standard.

Second to none. When listening to this I know there is nothing better. There may be different interpretations of Schumann´s Carnaval but nothing above Michelangeli´s unique performance.

@MashnestMojo Sorry for not having written 'in my humble opinion'! ;)) Please remember that i am an ardent admirer of Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, a real fan and you know that the word fan comes from 'fanatic'. But seriously, this Carnaval stands alone in its technical and musical perfection, unmatched by any other interpreter IMO! :-)

BRAVO MICHELANGELI!!! One of THE best performances I've heard. So playful. He really played this piece to another standard. He plays this piece very masterfully. Although I could say he could've played the Eusebius maybe a bit more softly instead of loud. Also his Coquette, the accent sounded a bit harsh though he played it very very playfully and flirtatiously.Some of the parts accents were a bit too harsh for my liking after Lettres section. The Chopin section could be a bit more slower though his version did not sound that bad. Overall his interpretation of this piece is AWESOME!!!

@MashnestMojo @berlinzerberus Ciro vs Sergei in the Carnaval: well It is a battle of titans for sure. Apart from personal preferences I am sure that everybody should agree that in this performance ABM was simply mesmerizing. Superb golden tone, transcendental virtuosity (oh that Paganini episode!), impetuosity... And all this LIVE! This does not happen that often for sure :-)

Could well be the best recording available of this difficult piece, specially for the kind of pianists we have today, if not so framed as it is! In the end, Cziffra, probably without knowing it, plays the best Carnaval of all, extremelly virtuoso, as it is, but full of imagination and charm! This is the best recording of Michelangeli playing this piece, as the proper record, made a few years later, is awfull! Can one believe that?

My teacher, who studied with Michelangeli, said to me once tha for Michelangeli Rach was the greatest pianist ever! I adore his Carnaval! It's really umbelievable! But this, only this recording of Michelangeli is also fantastic, and live! I just can't satnd the studio version! He just ruined it, and droped it from his repertoire! Never played it again...and that's strange because right up to the last years he played just about all his recital programs, not very many, but did play them over...but not Carnaval...or even Faschingschwang...

@@luizfernandg I was not aware of Benedetti Michelangeli's great appreciation of the magnificent Rachmaninoff. However, personally, I find the Nº version more beautiful. 4 by Rach played and interpreted by ABM (for me unsurpassed and unsurpassable) compared to the splendid performance by the same author.
@edwardbak44597 жыл бұрын
I will always hold this interpretation as the standard bearer. There is another great live performance by Benno Moïseiwitsch, and certainly other great interpretations that I am unfamiliar with. But Michelangeli will never be topped as far as I'm concerned.

Every time I hear this version I like it more and more... the best one? The studio version from around 1972, I'm not sure, I hate! He ruined it! And droped it from his concert repertoire after that...
J have in brain Cortot ( 1928 recording ) and Rubinstein with his recording of Schumann carnaval op 9 so , j find Michelangeli too meticulous too perfect : j like in clasical -piano a certain improvisation and not a search perfection to show great famous piano before the sens of music ; at the end Michelangeli is more than perfect with less spirit in one bal of a carnaval, less joy . Great keyboard for me , less sens of a carnaval . MIchelangeli for me is great less near Composers than others pianists , it's my personnal opinion not for everyone of course .

Could it be a joke? We think of little Clara as the winsome adolescent in that famous print but Schumann called her a greater virtuoso than Chopin although Chopin, he conceded , played with unique tonal magic. That’s the way Robert juxtaposes them in Carnaval and the way Michelangeli plays them (bowing by the way as few do to Chopin’s “agitato” which makes the delicacy all the more entrancing).

Perhaps the best version, in her own way, anyway... so much imagination, just about every note there has something speciall abou it, and she is never, never ever out of style, as so many somethimes are, including Michelangeli... Great playing, but in some pieces he can't help being excentric!
