my goth!!! I love him

[chesnok9]

Это самое лучшее исполнение!!!!

[chesnok9]

Классно!!!!!

[hlpianin]

совсем уж грубо то так зачем.. когда моложе был, слушать было намного приятней. зачем превращать игру на рояле в карате(

[lenrfrjyatnrfq]

@hlpianin это просто такое качество видео

[fredericfranc]

...this is a horrible recording...but he has that "don't give a damn" attitude towards the interpretation...kinda the usual for Sultanov...

[Blinder741]

ПОТРЯСАЮЩЕ!!!

[Blinder741]

Потрясающе!!!

[uhartchristian]

he discovered the third dimension in music.... at a point even Horowitz did not go so far.... we lost a very interesting pianist much too early.... 

[n0wM3]

wow, the legend was still alive

[Ellinidara]

A unique talent as unlucky...:-(

[KCheO10]

He truly was amazing.....:)

[chesnok9]

BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!!!!!!!!

[littlepinkdaisy]

I like his long hair! Beautiful piece!

[marginallymental]

No matter how old Sultanov got, he always looked like a young prodigy.

[TheOtherMusicMan]

Ah Suli, my dear friend. How we miss you!

[aceoq9s]

MALBGM, the guy's dead. Educate yourself before posting!

[MALBGM]

you're playing this as if it were rachmaninoff. it's liszt(with a hint of light russian thanks to horowitz) not full blown mussorgsky!

please try not to muddle it

other than that good performance

[heyletsplay]

@MALBGM rofl your post is pretty ridiculous.

[MALBGM]

@heyletsplay ridiculous is the underbelly of divinity!

[tjeuwbacca]

@MALBGM how do you mean?

[MALBGM]

@tjeuwbacca he plays this like a russian when it should be played lighter! is too not heavy not dark but heavy. too much mussorgsky not enough almost italianesque liszt

[jefftam1234]

@MALBGM We got enough stupidity in the world. Please kindly shut your mouth. This is Saint-Saen/Liszt/Horowitz. How would that be 'Italian'? If you are going for the origin, it should be French (Saint Saen based it on an old French superstitious poem)

So shut your mouth.

[MALBGM]

@jefftam1234 jeff! buddy! for one thing you take me waaaaaaaay too seriously

:D

for another, i wasn't referring to the origin i was referring to the sound. i believe this to be played to heavily. i believe this should be played lighter. now, these are merely the beliefs of one who has accomplished nothing and knows, hey presto, nothing! would sultanov really care what some asshole on the internet thinks of his playing?

[combatvetlawstudent]

100 stars!!!

[sll10]

[88alan8800]
