Tchaikovsky - Piano pieces op.19 - Gilels live

[@guillermomiranda9703]

Incredible understanding of the composer's soul by Gilels...absolutely amazing!!!

[@stonefireice6058]

After hundreds of times hearing these pieces and even playing some of them, it’s incredible how fresh they all sound. Give it to Gilels and he will perform magic!

[@kunikpiano]

An incredible poetry in the sound and...everything!

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne live Interpretation dieser fein komponierten Klavierstücke im lyrischen Tempo mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Die klaren und anmütigen Töne seines Klaviers sind immer noch unvergleichlich. Die Tonqualität ist auch erstaunlich hoch als eine Aufnahme von mehr als sechzig Jahre vor. Echt musikalisches Wunder!

[@スズキマサシゲ]

グリーグの叙情小曲集もそうですが、こういう小品を弾かせたらギレリスは本当に上手い。物語を語るように、一曲の中に幻想と懐かしさが溢れています。

Лучший на все времена!!!❤

It´s poetry - and Gilels understands it to perfection!🌹

[@apmtsy]

Great performance by Gilels, ! Beautiful touch great enjoyment to listen over and over. Thank, you!

[@frahan3]

What a delight of music! Such a melodic grandeur within these few bars! Incredible fascinating that these tunes can reach the deepest of your emotions in a matter of seconds. Written from the heart, they strike directly yours, to remind you that you are made of feelings, some of which are yet to be discovered... Bravo Maestro Pietro!

[@cassianodurandpinheiro]

I agree totally with your insight

[@timothythorne9464]

Tchaikovsky is the best IMO in having the listener, rather than himself, as his primary focus. This music is so rich in its romantic ardour.

I am actually surprised about some of the comments about Tchaikovsky's piano music here. There is such a charming naivety and gentle quality about it. It has its place in the classic piano repertoire! Thank you for posting it!!

[@timothythorne9464]

I can't understand why Tchaikovsky's piano music has been treated with such dismissal. The melodies are par excellence, as is all of this composer's music. I find the selections from this opus to be much more interesting and engaging than more highly regarded works of Mendelssohn and Schumann. And the brilliant Theme and Variations at the end is Brahmsian in its development of the chorale-like theme. (I can only imagine Tchaikovsky is rolling over in his grave, being compared to Brahms!)

[@Saltan1908]

@@timothythorne9464 it's far better than Brahms!

[@timothythorne9464]

@@Saltan1908 it's not "better than Brahms", whatever that means. But like Brahms, it reveals a real mastery of composing theme and variations.

[@Saltan1908]

@@timothythorne9464 Tchaikovsky disait, avec raison, que la musique de Brahms ne mène nulle part

[@timothythorne9464]

@@Saltan1908 Tchaikovsky was a melodist and songwriter without equal in the Romantic era. But his compositions in the Classical structures, the symphony, concerto, chamber music, etc. show noticable weaknesses in many cases. His "Pathetique" Symphony #6, for all its romantic ardour and rich melody, is not a symphony in the sense Beethoven or Brahms would have described it. It's more an orchestral suite.

This is Beautiful ! Thanks for posting :)

[@nikosflokas6901]

So happy that I found this. Great piece and great playing !

[@kliberalsing]

He plays that last coda quite freely, but that's fine with me. This live recording is enjoyable and interesting - what a rare find!

[@kilimanjarno]

how is it that a recording made live in 1950 sounds so excellent? Much better than some studio recordings from the 1970s...interesting...

[@cattleman6420012000]

It takes another Dennis to express better than this one, the merits of this work and performance

[@kevasman9974]

Wonderful playing of some lovely music I'm not familiar with!

[@wcsxwcsx]

I'd swear this music sounds like Edward MacDowell. Quite enjoyable!

[@alanmacdonell9443]

The performance is spectacular. If only the music were better.

[@galanis38]

+Alan MacDonell If you enjoyed this (or any other performance, for that matter) as "spectacular," doesn't that also have something to do with the quality of the music being performed, or at the very least the qualities of the music as brought out by the performance?

[@MozartFong]

+Alan MacDonell They are not popular for a reason.

[@galanis38]

+Alex Fong Popularity is not necessarily the measure of the quality of works of music.

[@MozartFong]

+galanis38 Correct, but it's a good indication. ..

[@SoulfulPassion]

I absolutely agree with you, galanis38!
