It's a real shame that a great majority of Bortkiewicz' work is unjustly neglected ... the ballade presented here is beautiful ... a good piece of romantic music!
Fabulous, I don't know his music at all, though I am a huge fan of turn of the century russian piano music. I wonder if you play any Medtner? He's my all time favourite - I'm busily working my way through some of his sonatas and tales, so difficult to sight read, but totally worth it
What is DaComme's (?) comment supposed to be? What a lack of respect! Should be banned from YouTube community! Bortkiewicz Ballade is a great work and Koji Attwood, an incredible pianist!
Aboslutely brilliant!! :) keep playing xx

This is fantastic! I've been addicted to Bortkiewicz music lately, especially his first piano concerto. Can't get the theme out of my head.

Does Bortkiewicz tell you to keys around 5:45 or do you do that to spice it up a little?

Yes, I'm afraid I am guilty of some textual emendations from time to time.

They know each other from piano forums, it was actually a compliment.;)
in any case, I agree with comme, Coombs has nothing on Koji! Hopefully he will upload some new vids soon.
