G.Gershwin - The Man I Love - Mariangela Vacatello

[unclejuniorsoprano]

You are a very beautiful lady with a nice touch. You play with sensitivity and grace but a bit soporific. Remember, Gershwin was partly a jazz pianist who invented his own set of rules. He mixed tempos & combined various forms of music. Please check out Richard Glazier. I think you might appreciate his approach. You really look gorgeous at the piano.

Wonderful pianist! I was in her cheering section at the Van Cliburn. Most impressed.

About this Gershwin--would suggest moving it along a bit more. Too slow and

audience loses concentration, line is lost. Take it easier--this is an intimate

ballad not a grand concert piece. Mariangela would do great justice to the Earl

Wild arrangements of Gershwin.

Mariangela should have been awared the GOLD in the Van Cliburn competition. The judges got it wrong.

[MsRaminko]

I agree!

[THE987DBONE]

BRAVO! :-))

@unahennessy

What makes you think? Is the opposit....

[vivavittorio1]

[Blonesito]

[flic71]

ma è stupenda!!!

[vandrfodhr1]

Best rendition I've heard so far for this piece, clean cut and good.

[licoricestic]

very nice, however the melody is notated as dotted eight sixteenth note figures...she's playing them as eights :(

[docterdolittle]

@licoricestic idd..

[chimayai]

@licoricestic artistic license, I think..I play his second prelude in and out of time (1, because I have ridicously small pixie hands,and 2, George loved fucking around with other people's tunes, esp. with duration and dynamic; what goes around, comes around). I think her dynamics need a going over though.

[dakinespam145]

So smooth and delicate her awesome performance, 'The Man I Love". She

should have earned a medal some how!

[daikke2000]

@dakinespam145

Yes ! so better than many versions we can hear on YouTube...

[happymanfeelssogood]

this is a good rendition of gerswin's piece. it's a girl's piece really... ...nostalgic, isn't it?

[kocin03]

I play this song, too, and it was nice to see someone other's performence. Mabye I wouldn't "enjoy" the middle part so much, :) but the woman played great.

[bomberchicken]

A beautiful performance of a beautiful piece by an amazing pianist.

[Ellinidara]

She's AMAZING!!! No doubt.

[PhillipLWilcher]

Back here again to hear a pianist I love play "The Man I Love"....wonderful!

[sikorkasikoreczka15]

Beautiful film !

[Ellinidara]

Uno dei maggiori talentoni in circolazione.

[athomemusic]

superbe de musicalité

[dudesouth14]

written in 1924 and still sounds exquisite today.

[rgferreira78]

is this your own transcription? I guess Earl Wild's one is the most performed. contrats

[toastybread14]

i believe its gershwins own arrangement of the song, and its from the book "meet george gershwin at the keyboard"

[pomona0mf]

Brava Mariangela! This is the best Gershwin interpretations I have heard! Love it so much!

[pierretang]

can't believe this piece has become one of ABRSM's exam pieces (2009-10 grade 8)

[p0tage]

You're lying!? It's also part of the repetoire for Diploma in Piano Performance :S

[ZoeBarnes94]

Yes it is but you are also required to play 'I got rhythm' too.

[AZNpR1D3555]

yeah. I'm definately excited to perform that at the exams!

[PhillipLWilcher]

Gershwin and Vacatello - perhaps worlds a part but combined together, what a world they create! Superbly sensitive and so very real! I heard Vacatello yesterday in the SIPCA - wonderful!

[JUlIOBRANDAO]

very beautiful, congratulations!

[goldberg72]
