[kempff95]

the best of those 2:57 minutes!

[flouz2]

kissin in london not bad as well !!!

[peteklat]

That left hand is a disgrace! What do you mean "no problems"?

[callenishss]

@peteklat the technique is correct. drop whole arm down to play notes. thats all thats necessary

and rotate arm to play broken notes

[MaestroTJS]

That was brilliant...wish I could hear the full version.

[nnwahler]

He's always been my all-time favorite pianist....thanks for letting me finally see a film of him!

[aphalga]

His own heavy zeal is felt by me.

[gauss1855]

His Ballades are wonderful! Too many have never heard of him. Today's young pounders should listen to his playing and learn something!

[wanjabelaga]

first time i see a video with casedesus.

i have many recordings with him, but has never seen him playing.

outstanding

[TomBarrister]

The Sonata no. 3 is very difficult, especially the third movement. Casdesus has no problems with it, and he performs it in a unique way.

Fourth movement

[schweissscheisse]

really great. i love this video.

[billyguns2]

I don't think Casadesus gets enough credit; he left us a fabulous recorded legacy, and is a superb technician as well as compelling musician. This video clip proves it. His Mozart Piano Concerti are a marvel, as well as his Ravel recordings; I also like his Beethoven, especially Sonatas Nos. 23 and 24.

[jurmu11]

It is too bad that more people don't know how great he was, but among people who really know and love the art of the piano, he is a special figure. So we are lucky to know of him.

To me, his Mozart concerti represent some of the most beautiful and balanced Mozart ever recorded.

[dantsos]

He always plays with this divine, Apollonian certitude and inspiration, always providing the right mix of intellect and passion. Incredible pianist!!! If you don't "understand" a piece after hearing a Casadesus performance, there is no hope...

[mikeinkc]

piano hero of mine when I was young..love his compositions too!!

[enak1989]

maestro

[taiasthegoth]

He said that song is very hard to play. (in his documentary film before he plays this song)

[shela2]

Superb rendition of Chopin,s most attractive Piano Sonata by a Great Pianist*****

[rosariocuma]

@shela2 También era la interpretación favorita de esta sonata para Glenn Gould.

[stephenTGV]

What a great pianist!!!! One of the best performances I have ever heard.

[sagalat]

Very exciting, tremendous energy. A "Favorite."
