This made me think of what Arthur Rubinstein said after witnessing Josef Lhevinne play Scriabin’s left hand nocturne: that Lhevinne’s left hand was the envy of all pianists. Lhevinne’s fabulous left hand has returned from the grave and attached itself to Mr. Kantorow. Such control! Rock on, Alexandre
What limitations does the fact that he plays only with his left hand any longer have on him?His soul, which is injected only into the five fingers of his left hand, is vivid and anguished by fewer notes. Illuminates the rest of redemption. Here is a performance that makes him who he is.
Forgive me, but are you saying that Kantorow has suffered the loss of use of his right hand? I saw your comment and have since looked online, but have found no information.
This is a piece composed only for the left hand wich technicaly very demanding. Originally it was composed for the violin by Bach but Brahms wrote an arrangement for piano but only usong the left hand...
