This is so beautiful. Such an honest musician, I just LOVE his tone color. Delicate and balanced, but at the same time so emotional and full of life.

Имела огромное удовольствие слушать его в Ярославле, не за долго до его смерти.

[@GetMeThere1]

Absolutely fantastic!

[@pianomelodies8356]

Love this Scherzo!!!!!!

[@eatmyspam]

Notice how sparingly he uses pedal. We sure don't see this nowadays! If anyone knows of a living pianist who plays with this type of clarity and control, please do reply to this comment with a link.

[@SashaLattuca]

[@degoeath]

I was half expecting smoke to start erupting from the piano!

[@qzrnuiqntp]

Stanislav is Heinrich's son !

[@TwelfthRoot2]

Jesus Christ. He was the full package.

[@trrill]

Fucking FAB.

[@serue]

this can't be recorded in 1954!? cus he wouldbe age 66 then, but does he look like 66 years old here???

[@snakeeplayz1010]

He was born in 1927 so in this recording he would be about 26 years more or less. Also unfortunately Stanislav never made it to 66 years old.

[@snakeeplayz1010]

His father on the other hand Heinrich Neuhaus would have been 65 more or less. Maybe that is who you thought it was

[@AnonYmous-ry2jn]

He's pretty good, but obvious why he was mainly a teacher rather than a major concert performer. His rhythm is too mechanical and metronomic, rather than letting the music breathe and flow naturally, and the voicing of the chords (accentuating certain notes and inner melodies produced by successive chords) seems lacking. Overall, just kind of robotic, except for coarse, ungraceful changes in volume (dynamics), often just pounding.

[@AnonYmous-ry2jn]

Listen to how Rubinstein makes this piece sing.
