"Ach du lieber, mein schatz"!!! Marviously "gorgeous"! First time seeing him! This is what I mean when I say one plays with "reckless abandon"!!! Only being thoroughly "ingested" into this fabulous piece of music can one play like this! Wish the video & audio were better though. "Gesundheit"!
la valse for 2pianos 연주를 하게되어서 유튜브로 오케스트라부터 솔로, 듀오까지 40명 넘는 음악가 연주를 들었는데 이렇게 특이한 연주는 못들어봤다. 잘친다 못친다로 설명할 수 없고 해석이 정말 독특하고 개성있어서 기존 내 머릿속에 la valse 가 아닌 완전 딴 곡이었음. 충격이네. 어쨌든 이렇게 연주할 수 있는 개성과 자신감에 고민하다가 좋아요 눌렀음.
I do not know if he "capures the spirit" of this piece, but he definitely gives one hell of a performance and made me discover melodies in this walz that in all the other renditions I heard so far, were completely drowned...Wonderful!
I can't say it's the best La Valse I've ever heard, but it's in the running. He has the "specialized" inflections this music needs; I would like a bit more subtlety in some places (and he HAS this ability!)..
Riveting, strong, and uncompromisingly masculine in approach. Highly compelling and convincing - but such a world away from Yuja Wang’s persuasive and seductive interpretation! This is what I love about fabulous pianists - stamping their personalities on masterpieces, leaving no-one in no doubt of their greatness or of the greatness of the composer.
He played beautifully but left out so many notes that I would like to see him play with such clarity and confidence and speed with all of the notes. Yuja plays almost all of the notes which is one of the reasons it sounds more seductive and more Ravel-like. Even though this was artistically a great performance which sometimes reflected Ravel’s intentions it is a simplified arrangement of the original which I play. It is 24 pages and at times there are over 280 notes played within 3 seconds. The “extra notes” on different staves are not “extra” and are not ossias. They must be included or just learn a more simple piece. If you like Strauss style Waltzes then try Arrangements of his music such as the Du und Du by Dohnanyi but changing a piece so much to fit a different style seems unnecessary. If you don’t want to learn La Valse by Ravel then learn a different piece. I really enjoyed many things that this pianist did but only out of the context of the Viennese style imitated by a French composer. I am half Viennese myself and I felt like it was more of an attempt to play Viennese music and to try and cut out as much of the French flavour of the music as possible. Anyone who has studied this piece and made the effort to be as loyal to the composer as possible would agree. The effort required to play this piece is halved by this simplification. I think he could play the original properly if he tried. If someone changed more well known music as much as he changed this piece they wouldn’t be taken seriously. Imagine if he changed 50% of the notes in Chopin’s music at the Chopin competition. Would he even get through the first round?
Mm.. I was taken in at first... all that eccentric and musical abandon..... very compelling indeed! But the more I see and hear of him, the more I have come to believe that he has the sensitivity of a con artist. Suave, practised, and brilliant.... but the poetry is snuffed.
Épouvantable. Tout est pressé, mal attaqué, bousculé, et on se sent davantage à Ménilmontant qu’à l’hôtel de Polignac ou à la Hofburg. Pas d’élégance, pas de sentiment apocalyptique. Ces pages si belles ne sont ni comprises ni lues avec précision. Bon pour le bal musette.
Oh-h-h, EVGENI - you are GENIUS!!!! Ever since Chopin Competition where you was the BEST OF ALL, we are big fans of your ART!!! Dreaming for the opportunity to hear you in Toronto....
I guess you simply have to be born Russian to play so stylishly. A purist will complain that he's taking liberties here and there, but it's in the service of the music. Exquisite!
2010 in Warsaw Chopin competition judges was correct. The fourth place is also too good for him. After competition winners can usually play Prokofiev 2nd. Concerto or Rachmaninov 3rd concerto. Unfortunately evgeni can't play them. Any youtuber have watched it that evgeni played them? Judges were so clever. They could see in the future.
@@pianoplayer9466 really? Mayby his concert plan was changed after my comment. Or? I hope, evgeni Bozhanov won't change or cancel the piece for this concert day. And if evgeni Bozhanov plays the piece 3rd concerto rachmaninoff for next year. He has to play much more better than the high school Asian student. Because evgeni Bozhanov will become double older 36 or 37 The little Asian young boy was only 17. Watch it!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-meKSDUnS7xg.html
@@pianoplayer9466 @Samson Francois at least yulianna avdeeva already played 1 st. Tchaikovsky concert. Although she's mama, who has daughter. When she joined chopin competion. Her daughter was 5. Next year her daughter will become 15. But evgeni Bozhanov is openly gay. It's World famous. He has no child. A lot of time for practice. But he has played similar pieces till now. Mostly the same. Or he plays the same competiton pieces. Too lazy But yulianna avdeeva plays various concert program. It's difference between winner and other one!
@@gaspardondine553 Of course I've already heard this famous Cho's playing long ago... Well, every pianist have their own individuality and I don't like to judge who is better or worse. but anyway I respect your taste.
@@pianoplayer9466 it's not individual tasty. It's general tasty. Mostly people like cho more than Bozhanov. I understand, you like evgeni Bozhanov. But you sould be neutral for him.
