Thank you for your kind comments. I know we all have our favorite interpretations of this piece. My biggest complaint is that some pianist today just play it to damn fast. While they are technically brilliant, they certainly miss the subtle expressions that can be played in this concerto like no other concerto written (IMHO). Take for example the Poco piú mosso in the second movement. If you ever get the chance to hear this played by Tzimon Barto you will know what I mean.
that was interesting to hear it at that level. It certainly made it easier to bring out a few notes i always wondered about and truly this piece has a lot more to it than it's beastly character.
Eu gostaria de ver o Senhor tocando mais vezes! O seu som é lindo demais, quando puder, poste mais vídeos! Eu e um amigo da Universidade estamos te escutando e estamos Amando...
Fantastic interpretation and remarkable audio quality. That Steinway has an exceptional tone. It's great to hear this at a more moderate pace than we're used to. I would almost say I prefer this to the 'normal' breakneck tempo most concert pianists play it at. Almost gives me hope that I can play it myself lol.
This cadenza is the most intense and impacting piece of music I have ever heard. Listen to Olga Kern play this... SUPER AWSOME. I love how Treker plays it slower so I can see how the hands move. WOW> Great Job! I also figured out by watching Him some great fingering and hand positioning.
Thanks for sharing. You play this masterpiece with great understanding of music. Even Rachmaninoff himself played it the similar way you do. It means without any ambition to be the fastest pianist on the planet. There´s no need to add any emotions to this piece, because it contents enough of them anyway. So thank you very much again.
Listen to it aagain with brand new headphones and I must sayty so much for loading this video up. I Cna't play this piece so I am handicapped right now so to say. But this performance gave me hope that life will turn out good if I stsay strong.
I would feel happy to have managed that, let alone address some of the suggestions here! I have the score and its intimidating to say the least. I first played on a baby grand at home aged 4. Seventy years later l dearly wish l could at least play as well as this. Folk should remember that there are very few 'Horowitzes' in this world!
VERY nice! Of course a little slow on the temp, but you knew that I'm sure. The only other thing I would change is adding your own interpretation. Your sound is technically accurate, but it needs personal touches.
Fantastic! My only comment is that I’m concerned about your right wrist. It doesn’t seem quite supple or relaxed enough, which would make playing faster tricky and could lead to injury. Please be careful!! I loved your playing :)
