Arcadia Musica presents Denis Kozhukhin-Ligeti-Etude L'escalier du diable

[MrStrav81]

He has some interesting ideas for the middle section, but I think he is not always voicing the correct line. That is just my opinion.

[luisguilhermeolbertz]

I watched him playing Liszt transcendentals here in Brazil today... and understood why he won the queen elizabeth

[tillmar20]

@luisguilhermeolbertz Me too. Great! Aleksandra



[luisguilhermeolbertz]

@tillmar20 Nice!

I Hope we've more from these good and scarce events here in Curitiba

[Barbapippo]

very, very, very good......

[13DiMonD13]

Denis :) We gathered mushrooms this weekend together near N.Novgorod in my vilage.. And today we are going to play pool... I'll send your regards to him )))))))))))

[Chakiejan]

Glad I'm not on acid right now..... =O

[allegretto1862]

Congrulations for the Queen Elisabeth competition!!!

[zjenas]

i was astonished by his performance in the finals, amazing pianist!

[katchum]

As I predicted he is one of the prize winners and did a splendid performance on the Prokofiev 2. Deserved to win!

[caothanhlan]

great, and by heart, I like this version and that of Anderson as well. Impressive :D

[katchum]

As I predicted, he is in the finals. I was extremely impressed by the calmness of his Beethoven sonata. Especially the fugue was almost "church"-like. I have seen the other finalists and I think Denis could be one of the prize winners for sure.

[katchum]

I absolutely want to see this pianist in the finals of Queen Elisabeth 2010.

[Bachlives2]

Perfect Tempo.

[padaneis]

A wonderful performance! Speed seems quite correct to me. I discovered this piece just thanks to this video.

To jazzhotline: please forgive me, I misclicked thumb and accidentally voted your comment -1 whereas I meant to vote +1.

[jazzhotline]

"thank you so much Denis" G.Ligeti

[padaneis]

Sorry I have voted -1, but I meant to vote +1 instead!

I am not able to remedy!

[VICTORMANUELMORALES]

Oh! Great! A very powerful performance!

[5tgb6yhn5tgb]

Quite liked that version, in parts - one of the better performances I've heard.

[kusuna7]

Hideous. No variation of colour whatsoever. Aggressive and loses the truly deep sinister meaning of the piece.

[mynippon]

I love it, but it is maybe a little too fast

[qtpipi]

great performance! only thing it's lacking is a haircut.

[OceansBoulevard]

not bad, i would like it much legato

[malica77]

Wow. There's an incredible amount of energy in this performance -- exactly what the piece demands but seems to be missing from many other performances. Well done!

[Uboichi]

I totally agree! Most other versions I've heard lack a lot of energy on especially the staccato notes. Too bad the sound quality of the recording isn't too great. But other than that it's fantastically played!

[nniuqsiwel]

soooooooo much better than greg anderson. best performance of this piece I've ever heard.

[pigleysoo]

AWSOME!!!! I saw his live performance a couple weeks ago. His playing was so artistic and unique!!! He made all pieces so attractive. I became a huge fan. I'll look forward his other performances.

[MrLovre]

Really wonderful!! This is just 5th video on YouTube.
