Chopin's score is ...
By: Cleroth. on 21 Nov 08, 02:38:07
Chopin's score is Chopin's interpretation.

I don't understand ...
By: nyc11104. on 20 Nov 08, 21:48:33
I don't understand all this discussion about "interpretation"... The instructions for the performer are right on the score, in plain black and white, and the phrase structure is clear in Chopin. The pianist's job is to play the piece with clarity and with some sense of nuance and tone color, rather than as a "virtuosic" trainwreck that shows off how fast one can play.

Everyone should ...

Everyone should interpret Chopin however they like.

By: PeacfulJoh. on 19 Nov 08, 02:26:03
Why in the world is he spasming towards the second-to-last page? This isn't necessary. I don't understand why big pianists just bang these "easy" pieces out when they can be so beautiful. Loud and rhythmic doesn't mean expressive, let's remember that.

By: Malaka57. on 18 Nov 08, 22:46:54
Watts is just "tossing it off" here, that is obvious. I would'nt consider this at the "recording" level. I first heard him doing the Brahms 2nd at Avery Fisher Hall in NYC and spent the next two days in a daze... It was a mega-watt performance.

Excuse me sir, very ...
By: jeremy71991. on 18 Nov 08, 04:01:58
Excuse me sir, very few people have the credentials to criticize Andre Watts. When someone rises to the pinnacle that Watts has achieved, I think they should be able to interpret Chopin however they'd like.

By: nyc11104. on 04 Nov 08, 07:46:17
OK - It just seems like the left hand is flying out of control without a clear sense of downbeat, and the timbre is awfully dry in spots without any pedal. (Just my opinion of course)

By: BloodyLovin. on 31 Oct 08, 08:58:37
It seems like the best interpretations of the Romance composers (minus Beethoven - Brendel is the master of him) and even later virtuoso pieces all come from either: 1. Cziffra, 2. Richter, or 3.Hofmann (possibly the greatest since Liszt himself, not enough recordings to determine though). All the other greats lack at least one of the following necessities: speed, power, clarity, emotion, rubato mastery, or relative creativity.

Yo-Yo Ma: Elgar Cello Concerto, 1st mvmt
Posted by: medpiano

Video duration: 586 seconds

Yo-Yo Ma with Daniel Barenboim and the Chicago SO in this performance from 1997. This concerto will forever be associated with Jaqueline duPre, but YYM gives a performance that is beyond breathtaking. It is fitting that Barenboim is the conductor; I'm sure he feels this concerto is still in very good hands.

What is most important is that he is one of the best now-a-day cello players and that in fact he get his cello as an heritage from Jacqueline Du Pré who was married with Daniel Barenboim, the director...

By: shinizou. on 31 Oct 08, 21:25:20
I don't know... His version has a deeper tone to it, but du Pre's version seems slightly more soulful to me. That said, he still does an amazing job. He's very liberal with pianissimo in some places, and it fits the piece perfectly. Overall, an amazing recording!

Nessun Dorma (Pavarotti, NY 1980)
Posted by: medpiano

Video duration: 180 seconds

Luciano Pavarotti singing from a concert in January 1980 with the NY Philharmonic cond. by Zubin Mehta. Compare this performance with other (later) dates; Pavarotti here is clearly still in absolute total command. This was part of the "Live from Lincoln Center" 30th anniversary special.

By: whity72. on 19 Nov 08, 23:32:02
Not much far away from kissing my screen, overwhelmed by this perfection! A millennium-talent, we all are blessed to live during his lifetime. Unfort. I saw him only once live when he was sick already where he missed all the few difficult notes during the concert - but who am I to dare to complain? Noone sings like Pavarotti, noone reached the basic high level of his voice which reaches our stomachs. A stunning master and legend!

Coltranelovetrain, you were certainly interested enough to make an off-topic post on the subject (see below).

Now, additional posts on Nimrod would be most welcome, signatures included. Jeff Mincey

I'm offering no lecture to anyone -- not on nationalism nor on anything else. I'm simply expressing my point of view, just as others are doing. However, who better than an American to know the evils of nationalism, given the impact it has on American foreign policy? Finally, the commentary in response to this video is full of chest-thumping over culture. Read deep enough and you will find a LOT of it -- almost as much as on the topic of Nimrod itself.

This man him self was a nationalist. You could argue with him if you like, but since he's dead, he's not much of a convosationlist.

To Mireah, The implications of pride (and its mirror image of shame) are too complex to outline here; but as I have said several times now, I'm all for using music (and other art) to memorialize the dead. What I object to is putting great music like Nimrod in the middle of a petty contest about whose culture is better than another's. I object to the idea that people of one heritage have more title to art than any other people. Jeff Mincey

By: wordsworthbloke. on 12 Nov 08, 22:45:31
This song is linked to the proud history of Britain and makes me so proud to be British, it's like listening to ones on national anthem, it's not about nationalism, it's about being reminded of something that once united your country, a shared feeling of remembrance, pride and love for those who were lost in foreign field during true protection of their way of life, their families and their homelands. People have a right to listen to this song and remember how much they love this country

By: mireah. on 12 Nov 08, 19:18:45
Why do you think we're bashing our chests?? The Last few days, (as always at this time of year)I've been listening to the older patients on my ward talk about the past and their dead loved ones. They still talk about people who went to war during ww1 and never returned. In the Hull area that was a lot of people! They listen to this music and think of their loved ones, Don't try to take that from them! That's just rotten.

ur mistaken mussorgsky is my favorite composer it was first on piano then orchestrated by rimsky korsakov even thought mussorsgky orchestrated it first but they changed some of his music because they believed he was a drunk and not a very educated musician so they changed some of his music and the night on bald mountain we mainly here is the rimsky korsakov version . Its a mixture of 3 pieces actually. If you have any questions about Mussorgsky feel free to reply. im majoring in comp at CSUN.

MTT- Tchaikovsky Symphony No.4, 4th mvmt
Posted by: medpiano

Video duration: 566 seconds

Michael Tilson Thomas conducting the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra in a very high-powered 4th movement of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4 in F minor.
Compare this with Barenboim's version also on my channel, and you'll see two excellent performances, similarly high energy levels, but very different styles of conducting.

This is so typically MTT's style. I've had the honor and privilege of working with him in the New World Symphony Orchestra and he conducts with such subtle passion that he doesn't need to be Barenboim. That being said, Barenboim is one of my all time favorite conductors, so i'm not blasting him or anything, I'm just saying that MTT is a lot more chill overall as a person and conductor than daniel barenboim.

From a 2005 recital in Mexico City. This exact performance became my new "Islamey" standard. I already had one from Boris on CD; this one surpasses it in both musicality, spontaneity, and brilliance.

By: trigalg693. on 17 Nov 08, 06:11:04

By: Aul1kki. on 12 Nov 08, 15:26:05
I don't know, but when you look at the guinness world records, there are guys who run like 24h. I don't know do they have breaks or not, but they can do it. So 4h I think can done with the piano, but it's totally different story, that is there any sense, and also you have to low the quality of your performance. No sense at all I think. I agree with you that this is definitely the most engrossing version on Youtube. I think in lang lang's version there are both of those what you said.

4 hours long? Most ...
By: demosj. on 12 Nov 08, 03:13:05
4 hours long? Most concerts last about 2 hours, a little longer if the pianist is feeling generous with encores. Forget technique, how does one physically have enough energy to play the whole thing? This is the most engrossing version posted on Youtube. Nowadays virtuosos are a dime a dozen, but Berezovsky is in a league of his own. Lang Lang's performance is alright, but one wonders whether the slowness of his tempo is artistic license, or a technical imperative.

In many ways this ...
By: Lemonizm. on 12 Nov 08, 03:01:07
In many ways this piece is more difficult than Organic Cucumber. Organic Cucumber is for robots. In fact, Sorabji could have made it even more difficult because its the type of piece that is suitable for player pianos.

By: rvn10rvn17. on 12 Nov 08, 00:47:36

By: Aul1kki. on 11 Nov 08, 21:08:44
Oh yeah! It's modern music, but to me it's not. Because when I hear modern music I almost always get there some kind of idea, but that OC is just like you said, banging the keys. And that physical factor: I just forgot to say it. It's have to be truly pain for audience and for performer to play that piece non-stop. Longer than OC that is not pianowork?

By: rvn10rvn17. on 11 Nov 08, 02:36:17

nope.. opus ...
By: rvn10rvn17. on 11 Nov 08, 02:33:37
nope.. opus clavicembalisticum.. maybe Sorabji's most famous work.. it can also be one of the hardest piano piece ever written, technically.. it's around 4 hours long.. but, to me, it's just banging the keys.. but, OC is modern piece..

Organic Cucumber?
By: Lemonizm. on 11 Nov 08, 01:47:23

By: Lemonizm. on 11 Nov 08, 01:47:03

Yeah, but what else ...
By: Aul1kki. on 08 Nov 08, 22:56:12
Yeah, but what else there is behind than that, when you record the whole piece? But I still think that it's not hard at all, if it's just like 10 minutes long. But that just based on what I have seen from the sheets and I have seen just little parts from here and there. So I might be wrong when I say that. But I don't really see anything interesting to make hard piece, if there is no clear musical idea. Modern music is not the same, but you know what I meant.

yes.. what i know, ...
By: rvn10rvn17. on 07 Nov 08, 06:47:20
yes.. what i know, 4 people including Sorabji himself made the complete recording.. but, who wants to waste time banging piano beside for 'pride' reason like 'Hey, i play one of world's most technically difficult piece' personally, even if i can play OC, i still prefer playing Rach 3, or even gaspard de la nuit

are his mistakes ...

are his mistakes really mistakes or are they calculated?

Yes. Actually it's ...
By: trigalg693. on 04 Nov 08, 08:44:13
Yes. Actually it's probably not the hardest, because Sorabji wrote a lot of other stuff that is probably harder and is longer that no one has ever performed.

It is really to bad if we gain a lot of knowledge about the instruments etcetera and become stuck in only hearing "faults" etcetera. That's why I try to not read comments but rather enjoy as much of the great classics as possible for the emotional brain. I think someone is wise if he will forever know how to enjoy this music with full attention and simplicity.

Barenboim conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in a stellar performance of Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony in F minor for the opening concert of Carnegie Hall's 1997 season. Barenboim has full control here, especially at the end, taking the repeated section (7:14) first meno mosso, then stringendo--incredib le!!! (Yes, that is the legendary Bud Herseth marshalling the CSO's incredible brass).

That's exactly what ...
By: medpiano. on 06 Sep 08, 16:54:39
That's exactly what happened in the "old days" and was far more appropriate. 20+minute first mvmts for concertos like Tchaik's PConc#1 or Brahms PConc #1 simply DEMAND a response from the audience, and in some countries this is totally still the norm. It's more of a respectful response not an "encore-demanding" ovation, but it's a release for the audience's emotions as well as the performers and I support it 100%. Haydn 7-8min 1st mvmts--eh, not so much. ;)

the "crescendo" ...
By: marcopiega. on 27 Aug 08, 20:31:33
the "crescendo" from 6'40'' to the end of movimento is probabily one of the most strong and expressive part of every time. The increasing of violinos finds no comparation in any other composer.

By: hypocrita. on 25 Aug 08, 21:57:20
Yeah... Dover's Full Score edition. But the maestro's score should be a little longer than that, cause it's very easy to get confused in the instrumentation if they change their position on every turn of page. So the maestro's score must be a lot "duller" end "pause redundant" than the simplified one we use to read the music in the comfort of our house study.

By: DarkDomnu. on 01 Nov 08, 17:49:36
No, he actually has a point; there are plenty of mistakes, most of which don't detract from the overall charm, but which are still clear. Even in the last few chords (I think the second to last?) he makes a mistake. Overall, I would give this a 6 out of 10. I would expect fewer mistakes (not none!.. even the best pianists of our time make mistakes) from an experienced pianist.

By: piano345. on 17 Jun 08, 15:20:47
Unlike Horowitz and Cziffra, Bolet could be over cautious in virtuso works such as Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies, Totentanz,the Hungarian Fantasy and Piano Concertos. They need a feeling of abandon and improvisatory flair. However, he had a certain aristocratic reserve and nobility and always produced a beautiful cantabile and full sonority at climaxes. His version of the Wagner/Liszt Tannhauser Overture 'live' from Carnegie Hall (1974) is superb.

By: AulicExclusiva. on 10 Jun 08, 22:14:37
He hits many wrong notes here, but it's still a WONDERFUL performance, full of personality and panache, and truly aristocratic in spirit and dash. Bolet was a superb Liszt interpreter because he was not only a brilliant virtuoso but a very spontaneous and living musician, full of sensuality, temperament and wit. A Latin!

By: darkprose. on 25 Mar 08, 17:29:36
Interesting take. I always found it interesting that in the full statement of the march (of the 6th), the melody is in the strings and not the brass -- sometimes the beats of the horns and the timpani all but overpower the melody. A unique march, indeed. Is it triumphant, though? In isolation, one might think so, but what follows exsanguinates any triumphalism from its strident beats, I think. Embedded in the Pathétique, the III mvt is manic irony.

George Bolet is a fantastic pianist. Does anybody remember seeing the motion picture "Song Without End:" the life story of Franz Liszt? He provided the piano music for this film. It was very dazzling and I think Liszt would have liked it. That is how good George Bolet was in his heyday. He comes from Cuba and has wonderful recordings of his music. He was one of the super-virtuosi of his time. When he was alive I remember having two conversations with him in the early "80's

Bolet did not study with Hoffmann and Rosenthal - he only got coaching from them, and we don't even know how many times. Bolet's primary teacher was David Saperton, an equally great pianist.

You guys are so annoying... if you think Jorge Bolet is deserving of insults and criticism, just realize one thing... that his rubato is rivaled only by Artur Rubinstein. His Chopin and Liszt was on an entirely different plateau. You guys need to get past puberty before you make idiotic comments.

Bolet had J.Hofmann and M.Rosenthal for Masters, witch have had Anton Rubinstein and F.Liszt, and a Chopin pupil for Master. Can anybody on youtube can claim a such heritage. Bolet is great.
