  • Phenomenal playing and music making from an age that has been lost to us forever. Many thanks for sharing this treasure.

  • amazing!!! im playing this right now for a competition and i hope to sound this good!! =)

  • same :)

  • me 2

  • learning this song... lol

  • it is a pity there´s no more good record of this piece. well done, mr. merzhanov (but i don´t like your performance of chopin)

  • I've never heard of this guy. I don't think his fame made its way to the U.S. unfortunately. Many subtleties in his playing, which I liked very much. It puts many new generation pianists to shame.

  • his hands are amazing to watch! I wish I could play piano like that!

  • Bravo Tchaikovsky! Bravo Victor! I wish I could listen to this a million times! Thanks for put this to youtube!

  • breathtaking! this is absolutely wonderful! I love his interpretation!

  • WOW! Very good! How old is he? My teacher was his pupil

  • Very well played. He's got a great rhythmic drive and depicts a train on snowy tracks very well.

  • Merzhanov is great !!! I like his sense of style and the ability to actually "make" music. His studio and live performances are true treasures. Thank you for posting.

  • Merzhanov is one of the best !!!

    I like his phrasing - it is breathing like he is talking to the audience through the music. Thank you for posting this great video.

  • thanks this is great
