Rachmaninoff - Symphonic Dances - Dmitry Alexeev & Nikolai Demidenko (Moscow, 2016) 

Too much knocking passion

I think there's some pitch bend coming from the tape to digital conversion - probably not so many wrong notes

@@AdamS32828 That's "pitch bend" as opposed to "pitchblende"...lol en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uraninite

Which, in certain parts of Tennessee, Alabama and "Kain-Tuck" is a "meer"...lol

Does that mean you don't like it? (ROFL) **SIMMER DOWN, YOU GOBLIN!!** And, it might help if you read the NY Times article about Vladi & his own "wrong notes": www.nytimes.com/1975/11/23/archives/the-curse-of-being-vladimir-horowitz-the-curse-of-being-horowitz.html

@@CLASSICALFAN100 Are you calling a "troll" anyone who doesn't share your view, taste or opinion? Tough. You are probably surrounded by "trolls" all your life. Thanks for the article. It has nothing to do with anything. I warmly suggest you to open the score and compare the author's text to the performance.

Not everyone is that demanding. Plain and simple.

@@danielstratievsky2614 I've been coming back to this comment for almost a year now, and I've finally decided to reply to it lol. I don't know where you got the word troll from, or why you quoted it, because nobody said it. As for this rendition. Of course, it's not perfect, but it holds a lot of serious emotion, and is one of the better performances on youtube, my personal favorite being Martha Argerich. Dmitry is the only one with the "fixed-to-the-score" face, and that's his face essentially every time he plays this piece. I find only a few note flubs, with the exception of some very poorly handled sections from the third movement. As someone who has performed this piece more than once, I can declare that there are many times two-piano performances are prompt, and can not accommodate the pianists' "bother to prepare the piece". There are only a few spots where there is a slow tempo, and it seems agreed on artistically. As for your claim that his article has "nothing to do with anything", I urge you to read about Rachmaninoff's personal feelings of this piece, and that he performed this exact arrangement with Horowitz at a private home concert. You can imagine, being Horowitz, there were many more wrong notes and "interpretations" than there were in this performance; a performance which Rachmaninoff loved, from his favorite pianist to interpret his own music -- Horowitz. I think your comment holds value to the "accuracy" of the written notation, but lacks the understanding of the interpretation of this performance. I can imagine if you'd heard Horowitz and Rachmaninoff play this piece the way they did on the night they had, you'd be disappointed.

Daniel, why don't you post your own perfect version to make us understand your superior understanding and judgment?
