Could anyone knowledgeable in composition tell me what the chord progression starting at 10:04 and repeated twice could be described as? Would it have a name? I remember hearing this before, not sure where... Maybe Swan Lake... I absolutely love it. So exquisitely dramatic, like an inexorable fall. Thanks!
best czerny performance ive ever heard. beside the fact that its technically remarkable its also played with refreshing musicality! a rare combination when people play czerny. and some of these are really taken at breathtaking speeds all without losing clarity and exactness in articulation
Wow, Horowitz always amazed me, both technically and musically, in this work. But Cocchia just may well have amazed me even more. Thanks for this great, comparative virtuoso presentation!
We are treated to one of the most beautiful piano and cello sonatas ever written. What a joy it was to listen to this performance by these two great artists.
this typset score is horrible! it has enharmonic erros (Ab in one clef, G# in another). why not the French print? the performance seems like an imitation of Hamelin, kinda aggressive and flat. at least the introduction of the SOLO PIANO part is more brilliant, like Mark Latimer, a bonus.
@@r.handerlie9607 Thinking of the whole structure of the piece, I enjoy Lindgren and Nosrati, even McCallum or Gibbons. First recording of McCallum has the wildest and most conving Allegretto Alla Barbaresca to me. Gibbons is somewhat too squared, but his tone is very warm all the time. Very rare for Alkan performers.
Honestly, I agree with you. Wee's recording makes me confused with Hamelin's 2006 recording (published in 2007) sometimes, but Wee's one is a little bit unstable because of the level of techniques...
@@Yubin_Lee_Doramelin that's not instability. That's expressivity! Hamelin is totally void in such kind of thing, with the illusionary excuse that "oh, my technique makes everything sound so easy". It sounds flat. Expressivity demands more energy. Piano teachers from 19th century would ask their students to play with energy, deep down on keys. Wee has more fire in it, but I see it as an imitation, and not the most musical recording he decided to imitate...
Wow, first recording I've heard with Var.16 played the way it should be. Also the first recording I've heard where Var.24 actually sounds like the theme.
