Maestro Gavrilov is more cool like the devil himself. He's a genius and I don't nobody playing it with such enthusiasm and passion like him! Bravissimo!
Andrei Gawrilow played the realy best, cold blooded, ice-cold performance and not scary to look into the face of the devil and retiring back in the day and down to earth after his trip to burning hell! Superbe!! Bravissimo!
This is so diabolique as it should be :-) And btw. Gavrilov has huge hands! My hands are big either but I couldn't see anything from my one when we shaked hands ;-)
I played them both in in high school. They are both bears. Played at this harrowing tempo, the Prok. Is probably harder. Lord that was fast! The notes in Bartok are probably easier because of all the black keys. I prefer the Prokofiev. It was one of my pieces when I won MTNA state auditions. Judges loved it. Then I lost a state Key Club talent show to a baton twirler. SIGH!
@@minema7953 but what's crazy is how bad he's playing it, he used to play this actually very well, probably the best performance there was, but here he's playing as if he'd read the sheets the day before casually...
@@prokastinatoreI did - and there are quite a few stray notes in this. But the excitement is certainly there, and that’s more important ultimately with this piece I think. Agree with the OP - what a 🎉! His original recording from decades ago is still one of my favourites.
@Tristan Lindberg few? the whole piece is butchered, random dynamics, random gestures for no reason... what happened to this man? did he go mentally insane?? he used to he an amazing pianist, nowadays he's reduced to this, a mess of random notes... i hope he's ok... it's almost like seeing pogorelich nowadays...
@@AsrielKujo you seem really concerned about him dude just text him or something instead of criticizing him multiple times in the comments. Get a life.
