Louis Moreau Gottschalk: Souvenirs d'Andalousie - Giovanni Bellucci, piano

[klaviermusikfreund]

tolles Stück, toll gespielt. Sehr brillant und mit sehr hohem Tempo. Bravo!

Very interesting ideas, not altogether very "spanish" in style or rythm, and with a couple of harmony/piano writing changes......very "live", and no doubt great fun to have been there. Obviously a masterly pianist who does what he wants.

Do parts of this seem very similar to tunes in the Intermezzo from La Boda de Luis Alonza?

Interesting interpretation. I liked it more the longer I listened.

The keys on the piano he plays must be slicker than a greased up championship Rubiks cube. Far cry from the old thumper I had to learn on :D

Great, great performance by an outstanding world-class pianist. I have to say that this is not the way i feel this piece, that i'm far from interpreting the "spanish character " of this work like maestro bellucci wants it, but nonetheless i can't help to admire the incredible technic and care for details that he put into it.
