Heinrich Neuhaus plays Scriabin Piano Concerto Op. 20

[ermpp65]

Я не могу помочь ... Я люблю этого человека!

Neuhaus was one of the geniuses, But he was the best piano teacher (his students speak for him, Richter, Gilels, Lipatti.....). In my opinion there is enough emotion for the piece, but not enough emotion for some listeners. He played as professor. Emotion after racio. This is also way and it is good way. Neuhaus was genius.

[antiquerkaemmer]

I agree that it's wonderful, both Neuhaus and the orchestra, but I must say I also agree that there's nothing like Ugorsky.

What elusive poetry, seeming to vibrate gently already before we hear it.... The phrasing of the orchestra is exquisite, the naturalness of the piano beyond our dreams.

Scriabin ~ Master of the piano. With his music, there is no piano anymore...

THIS IS heavenly. I love this composition. THe orchestre is one of the most amazing. Stupéfiant. La plupart d'interprétation magnifique!!!!!!!! And the piece, more than a treasure. I can cry with this. Thank you andre!!!

there is no connection between knowing how to play and knowing how to listen to a piece!

i just mentioned i like scriabin much and i play his pieces. i'm not a professional pianist, just an amateur.

Neuhaus is indeed a great pianist, but in this concerto he isn't on his "forte".

Unfortunately in your case seems like it's a straight connection between your playing and judgment... For your age (and being an amateur) your playing is fine. I was actually impressed with Op. 19. What I don't like is when people express their opinion without much thinking and deep understanding. Listen again - may be you'll hear something beyond poor recording quality.

[hedgehod]

oh really?

Scraibin is my favorite composer and i think i have heard quite many interpretations of this piece.

i play some of his pieces too.

he plays here way too fast IMO.

YOU SHOULD HEAR UGORSKY RECRODING TO DISCOVER A TRUE GEM!

[truecrypt]

Ugorsky is an outstanding pianist and I've heard him.

As for your "playing Scriabin's pieces" - you are not even close to the level to judge Neuhaus' performance. Before expressing your *unhumble* opinion you should know the subject much better.

I think Ugorsky himself would be embarrassed by your comment.

[hedgehod]

he plays way too fast and without much emotion :\

anatoly ugorsky's recording of this piece is immortal!

[truecrypt]

Typical combination of ignorance and arrogance!

Another YT "genius"...

[alexongcs]

Andre, may I please know the conductor and orchestre? Thanks.

[alexongcs]

I just checked. It is Nikolai Golovanov and USSR Radio Grand Symphony Orchestra. Magnifique, c'est!!!!

One of the most beautiful piano concertos EVER written! Bittersweet, passioned and full of poetry. Perfectly written and conceived for the piano and the orchestration is amazing, doesnt matter what Schostakovich said about Scriabin's talent in orchestration. Nver pay much attention what a genius says about another...

[10151080w]

Well I can understand what shostakowich said. As well as Chopins concertos it is not as "perfect" as Prokofievs and Shostakowichs concertos.

Still it is a unique concert. The most poetic and intimate of all concertos. Simply magnificent.

This peice is too infrequently programmed! It is GREAT
