I share rare and unpublished live recordings, videos and research on Russian piano history. I also sometimes write articles about pianists on my website.

Although I personally prefer Ivo Pogorelich's performance, in my opinion, this performance is still incredible. I prefer Pogorelich's performance because to me, this performance sounds a bit too... Controlled... I would say, while Pogorelich's performance is fearless and electrifying from start to finish. But this performance is incredible nonetheless.
Great masterpiece❤ Schnittke was genius. To this video - one unimportant and first charming fact is that it was not good idea to give to opera diva kind of pop music hand microphone :-) She is fencing with it absolutly unstable so was no way possible to capture to record constant voice signal. You can find that synchro her video vs. her voice is not the same. Her voce was probabbly overrecorded later in studio. But as I said, it' s only technical small and charming moment to this great concert performance.
Как же напоминают мне эти звуки чистейшую душу ребёнка. Недаром здесь эта фотография-видимо и у автора канала та же ассоциация,если не ошибаюсь.Вот так.
i performed this my junior year of high school with a wonderful group of my classmates. Thanks to them for a wonderful experience performing one of the most staggeringly beautiful pieces of music ever written (in my opinion)
muito interessante o registro, obrigado... amo o Nelson, mas é mais uma interpretação deste número 3 do Rachmaninoff que fica muito aquém da maestria e da "luz" da Martha tocando esse concerto
Astonishing pianist. Few, if any, have equalled the musicality of Margulis's interpretation of the Chopin Etudes. He brings out colours, textures and inner voices in these miniature works of genius that are missing on the vast majority of recordings. What a tragedy he didn't get to record the whole set.
The expressive power of the sound architecture breaks with any form of transcription of the real to attach itself to the expression of translucent and fairytale universe. Colors and rhythm of this composition are a language that gives life to exaltation 🤠
Just saw him last night in Concertgebouw Amsterdam. It was magical! I personally met him last year and I told him he should not walk so close to the gods, for mere mortals want to listen to him as well. That was 10 min after a wonderful concert, so I doubt he registered anything, nor my compliment 😄. Nice person btw.
I have no idea why, but I’ve never been a great fan of Mozart’s piano music, with some notable exceptions. But Lupu somehow communicates the music in a way that can be enchanting, and there have only been a few pianists who have that effect on me. Maybe I feel Mozart more on period instruments with forte piano, because the modern grand makes every piece so bright in tone, which in Mozart’s case generates a sameness of tonal quality which I can’t get past. And I also much prefer the arias he wrote for soprano, some of which seem to come from a different composer. I really love the way Lupu plays, though…amazing.
