badass motherfucker 5+++++ all my thumbs up (4)

[aungmemehtut]

nice

[marcohorowitz8]

one of the few pianists who could turn colleagues into incoherent stammerers at his recitals! Horowitz and Glenn Gould had the same impact, you'd leave the hall feeling you had witnessed an impossible miracle!

P.S. ( К моему комментарию) Генрих Нейгауз - младший.

[harmony14447]

... я искренне посоветовал бы всем изучать его творческое наследие, а это значит – в первую очередь мыслить (без абсурдного копирования, разумеется). ..Мы слышим не виртуозность ради виртуозности, не «блеск и треск», а идеально отшлифованное пианистическое мастерство, направленное на достижение подлинно музыкального содержания - Генрих Нейгауз.

why all the video cuts? :)

[Bananayoghurt1000]

why did this dude refuse second prize at International Frederick Chopin Piano Competition ?

[Laudan08]

@Bananayoghurt1000 Actually, the judges were to much unsympathetic, they also didn't give 1st prices to best Mazurka, Concerto or Polonaise.

[titusbeertsen]

@Bananayoghurt1000 I was wondering the same thing, and I would also like to know the reason the first prize wasn't awarded that year(and the year after I think). Does anyone know? I've looked everywhere for an answer, but have found nothing yet.

[Lawrencelovespiano]

With all due respect to Horowitz, I don't really like how he changed the piece. I love the original better.

[paulostroff99]

Superb! TY.

[hotbebimauz]

i was shocked by his death. he died so young! truly a great great pianist and an excellent performance.

[malarensi]

GREAT!!!!

[voiceru]

RIP

[mazingerduke]

Hombre! Por fin uno que tocando este repertorio está atento a los aspectos técnicos y musicales de la partitura,y no a montar el circo...se lo contaremos a Lang Lang

[luisfrodrimaz]

@mazingerduke

y.......una trágica pérdida, su muerte. Era fantástico.

Pero también hay otros muy respetuosos con este repertorio. Lugansky, p.ej.

[luisfrodrimaz]

@mazingerduke

Y...... una tragedia su muerte.

Pero también hay otros verdaderamente muy respetuosos con este y otros repertorios; por ejemplo Lugansky

[TipheretV]

mah!

[behemeth2000]

Damn.. 8:29

[Nissor]

amazing!!!

[hamelin69]

The Great Magician!!!

I love him!

[bassozgur]

I'm one of the lucky ones who played Tchaikovsky concerto with him. It was a true magic! amazing playing.

[w3sp]

how so? :)

[demosj]

The cut at around 5:40 is a pity.

Horowitz is a bit more colorful and interesting in the beginning, but I like Sultanov in this a lot too. He basically matches Horowitz technically nearly everywhere, and dominates the accelerando.

[fledgehog]

@demosj ive always imagined that young (like pre-40s) horowitz probably sounded a lot like sultanov

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

This is amazing.

[rarescores]

OH MY GOD! HOW DID YOU GET THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO??? Do you have any more of the lovely Sultanov!? I saw him in 1989 at the cliburn, and what a sad thing of his death in 2005 :(!

[takhirviolinest]

@rarescores i saw his young time and how he practised... I've connetcion with his family...and hes from my country.

his death was worse...in last his concert's he couldn't woke...(go, move)
