  • Juste une petite rectification:

    j'aime "aussi" le jazz car la technique n'est pas aussi exigeante!!!

    Et pourtant,il faut écouter T.MONK ,voir ce qu'il arrive à faire avec une technique limitée(mais : quelle oreille!!!) ou par contre écouter ART TATUM ou OSCAR PETERSON et se rendre compte que les jazzmen ne sont pas non plus des manchots!!!

  • I notice more and more people get impressed by such technique...I really do not give a damn, I look for interpretation and maturity. Being impressed by te speed of a pianist is annoying me, I get lost. I don't remember which virtusose learned octaves to his ingeneer neighbourg and the guy did in 2 weeks what he never succeeded to reach in a lifetime...thank God, piano is more than hitting the right notes as quickly as possible. Pianists become stars by increasing tempos nowadays...

  • Впечатляет!

  • O_o

  • Wow.... just... wow.

  • INCREDIBILE PIU0 VELOCE DELL ARGERICH ANCHE SE DI POCO..PENSAVO CHE LA PIU' VELOCE FOSSE DI HUNG JUNG LIM INVECE E' DI TIEMPO E ARGERICH

  • I had the good fortune of meeting him about 20 years ago in Miami in a party after the recital. (It didn't cost me a penny). Before the meal, we went up to him and shook his hands and chatted. Already, we were wowed by his amazing technique. All I can remember was when we shook hands, I felt as I had shaken hands with SOLID STEEL. I don't think I will ever forget that.

  • @cubanbach I shook his hand yesterday! :o

  • @theronniedinhoshow  So tell me! How was it? :)

  • speed hack

    cheater...

  • This cadenza isn't meant to be musical. It's not developmental, it's not melodic, it's not pretty or ugly; it's got nothing whatever to do with the material which surrounds it. It's just an explosion out of nowhere and out of context, and that's the point: it's pure fire for the sake of showing off and that's it. And damn if it isn't fabulously effective.

  • @tyrelroo yes.

    

  • Comment removed

  • This is pretty amazing. Check him out. He's also GORGEOUS!!!!

  • RIDICULOUS

    wow this guy is AMAZING

  • Awful and weird.

  • All technique, no music...

  • He's certainly fast, and is phenomenal in that sense for sure, but it lacks the musical quality. Argerich is equally fast, but she still (somehow) manages to make it musical...

  • That must hurt so badly

  • martha's still better though

  • haha Martha Argerich written ALL over him.... he's defniitely being taught well

  • i got a musical BONER

  • just as fantastic as Volodya yet even faster and cleaner!!

  • Where can I find the entire movment of the Concerto?

  • WOW!

  • Impressionnant : pas seulement la vitesse, mais aussi l'électricité :!

  • He is A mosterr!!

  • not impressed at all, only technique, say's nothing. Only showing of with his octaves

  • @mombeekmarcel Listen to the whole concerto, and it will put this in context.

  • not impressed at all, only technique, say's nothing. Only showing of with his octaves

  • I got crazy.

  • wouauuuuuuuuuuuuu,,,,eheh:-)

  • theyre fast and impressive, but that hand position could ruin his hands

  • che polsi alti...

    GRANDE

  • es un gran pianista, algunos podrian criticar su cierta falta de sensibilidad, pero aun asi, sus aptitudes y capacidades, son tan grandes que ya es capaz de cambiar de mil maneras sus interpretaciones. Existen muy buenas grabaciones con el.

  • Whoa!

    Listen to the cadenzas of Rach. #3. These are music thus have musicality. The Tchaikovsky by comparison in my view has far less "music" and is just banging octaves (Although I really do love the Tchaikovsky concerto as a whole..

    Granted both are very difficult and wide open to interpretation. You don't need a Russian sole to play the

    Tchaikovsky's cadenza but you must have one ala Berman, Gilels, Gavrilov to make music out of the Rachmaninoff. All in my opinion of course.

  • *makes me want to chuck my piano out the wondow :/*

  • Obviously this is a cadenza, for the pianist to show his/her skills. this passage of the concerto has little musical value or meaning, it is just fun and exciting. Stop criticizing his musicality based on this passage. That would like judging someones musicality based on playing a few scales.

  • @davidbaker03 yes.

  • most of the people here who have to say something about the performance will never play the happy birthday in a Casio keyboard...

    :P

  • First, let me say that you're not sure about that. Secondly, let me say that this was just for flash and dash and fails to impress as a result.

  • @GeorgeMaxwellDuPre "fails to impress"

    Are...you...kidding me. If you're not impressed by this, you know nothing of piano technique. You have no idea what it takes to get to this level, son.

    I've been playing classical piano for close to 20 years and octave technique like this is still a pipe dream for me. I've seen a veritable encyclopedia of classical pianists and this is one of the most impressive displays I have ever seen.

    Seriously. Lighten up. Those octaves were transcendental.

  • The octaves are phenomenal! The music here is not.

  • But come on! We've been talking about how this passage is not about musicality. This isn't the Adagio Cantabile section of Chopin's Fantaisie Impromptu. This is an fff 16th note octave run up the keyboard, and back down again.

    I want to see a video of what you consider to be a musical rendition of these octaves. From what I've seen the only differences between this passage among professional pianists is the speed and volume. Neither of which influence the musicality (for me anyway).

  • And "phenomenal" is generally not a word one uses to describe something that "fails to impress" them. =P

  • It is impressive from a particular standpoint. I'll look for a reading that is musically impressive to send to you. hahah

  • @GeorgeMaxwellDuPre

    I totally agree!!

  • Jesus Christ. Someone criticized this?

    Someone needs to get a life.

  • AMEN! sick of jealous haters who think they are true musicians.

  • i completely agree with you on the fail to impress issue but I think that it may be easier than you think. I can't do it, I'm only 16, but I'm sure in a year or 2 a will be able. Just slow practice. come on, Octaves are not the end of the world

  • I admire your confidence man. For me the difficulty lies in both the length and speed of the passage. My wrists get very tired by the time it's time to go back up the keyboard in eighth notes and there's a lot of white key to white key octaves which is very difficult to pull off accurately at that speed.

    More power to you though! I hope to see your vid up on here one day..

  • to play octaves at this speed takes alot of talent. People can practice for years and never play them this fast. it is a reflex that only a few have, such as Martha Argerich, and this man.

  • I think personally Alexei Grynyuk's HR6 is faster in the octave unleash part, but I do agree that this level is amazing by itself already.

  • @vladimirhorowitz Absolutely. I'd sell my mother to have octaves like that. I'm not sure it really serves the music to play them THAT fast, but maybe I'm just envious & I say that to console myself! Either way, WOW!

  • omg was my first impresion haha

  • I was at this concert. The directos was Gustavo Dudamel. It was fenomenal!!! After the Thailkovsky they played the Mahler 2nd Sinphony.... One of my favorites concerts ever! from Venezuela...

    Alberto

  • The teacher has been dethroned!

  • It's a bad passage, even judged purely as a display of technique. Each octave blurs into the next, resulting in an unstable sound. With Argerich and Horowitz there is still a palpable sense of rhythm, which is missing here.

  • I love Argerich.... but I think Sergio did as well as Martha in this case. His octaves were perfect in my opinion... I'm not sure why you said "It's a bad passage, even judged purely as a display of technique." I can understand that you may like other interpretations... but man... playing octaves like this, live,  it is something that I have only seen a very FEW other pianist do. Just for not missing a single note he deserve an A+++++.

  • It's not about playing ottavas "like this". It's about making music. For, playing ottavas, 5 solid stars. For making music in this passage, I'd give him one star. And that's being generous.

  • Well, I agree to some extent, in my opinion music is both: musicality and technique (just like tennis is power and intelligence). You cannot be good unless you have both qualities. However, I guess you think that both qualities must be present at all times during the entire concerto; and it is there where I think you are wrong. Based on this short passage, you cannot judge how much music ANYBODY can make. This passage is meant to show technique and power. There are other passages where we

  • absolutely. absolutely. people need to stop over analyzing and being so critical. this passage IS meant to show off, and if he can, he absolutely should.

  • could talk about musicality, but not here. And even if you want to talk about it, this guy would never be a 1* guy...please. I don't think guy is the best musician other there, but he is definetely not a 1* pianist. This is just amazing and deserves 5* for what it is: power, precision, and technique. I would give this guy a 3.5* or 4* for the music he makes based on OTHER recordings I have listened to, but not this one because I cannot honestly judge that quality in this particular passage.

  • hey hey, don't get me wrong. I have listened to a lot of Sergio Tiempo. I think his technique is clean (very clean) and his musicality is there when we wants it. Have you heard him with Maisky? He's great and very collaborative and musical. Here he chose to show off and that's all it is - a set of ottaves.

  • No, I have not listened to him playing with Maisky, but thanks for the recommendation. I will see if I can find it here in youtube. Take care man y saludos a todos los Venezolanos!

  • @KalymotxoII Besides the wrong note.

  • @demosj

    Come on! he played it well. (I just didn't like it much. It was too fast, like a blur of sound).

  • @GeorgeMaxwellDuPre It's cool for you to voice your opinion, but you could do it a little less publicly. The musician is amazing and has a blessed talent for the piano

  • @GeorgeMaxwellDuPre It's cool for you to voice your opinion, but you could do it a little less publicly. The musician is amazing and has a blessed talent for the piano

  • his fingers are so faking fast that the camera can't catch up with it at the end. I wonder what he'd be like had he done something else. Say,,,boxing..?

  • I don't think that there is any meaning to cut this passage form the whole piece out. What can we measure on this? The seconds, speed of hands? Than should we say the pianist who play faster the better one? I don't think so.

  • It is only one aspect of piano playing, you are correct. However, for those who are interested in bravura playing as a end in itself, this is great stuff.

  • nop, but he`s a really grate pianist!

  • Im not sure if I believe that he plays like argerich. He does seem to imitate her penchant for speed, but in terms of nuance, sound production, and personality? I'm not quite sure if the two pianists are comparable, even if she is his teacher.

  • He has such big fingers!

  • Bah..it seems to me Tiempo is a bad copy of Martha Argerich, every composition he play.

  • It's not a very fair comment after you watch such a great octave passage by a very competent artist, but ...I must agree. : |

  • I'm not so radical, but ok.

  • Agreed!

  • Lol this is just the climax from the Tchikovski {Yes I don't know how to spell his name...} concerto

  • same as argerich...

  • I wonder why :)

  • agree

  • who dont mate? :D

    fast is always better than slow

    elmok

    hehehehe

    tmaem

  • Some like it slow, some like it fast. Thank God we have more than one pianist to choose from. I personally like it fast. Who knows, maybe I will change my mind in an hour.

  • you've got it!

  • i want his technique

  • me too!!!!!.....

  • this is a very good interpretation,idiots,what are you talking about??listen the interpretation of 2005 for me is the best never played.All critics serve only to critics.

  • Argerich played this octaves so well.. and look to her student! Can't understand...

  • It's difficult to hear, but poor Sergio hits a couple of wrong notes in his octaves. Serves him right for totally blowing off the climax of the whole concerto. He ruined one of the best passages in the piano literature just to impress people who don't know any better. His study on chopin's etudes are still pretty cool though.

  • this is acrobat or sport,not music.

  • good octaves, but what's the point? where's the music? this octaves encloses a purpose, what is not just a circus show... tempo, be yourself and not another copy of argerich.... she is a legend because knew how be original...

  • what are you talking about? this is one of the best interpretations of the concert, it has the perfect notes measures, and uses the pedal just the way its supossed when he hits the 8va part everybody criticises tiempo but if you really dont believe in a universal interpretation of a piece then you will learn to apreciate other points of views and others conceptions of a piece he must be really quick learning everything and likes Liszt you must like something with more melody like aranjuez

  • good use of the 4th finger on the black keys.... and thanx to czerny perhaps? ^_^

  • Show off!

  • Yea! He will! No, he will be bigger than Liszt! Whatever if Liszt is the best pianist ever and wrote the harder version of his transcendental etudes when he was 15. They say he even played chopins first etude in octaves, but whatever! Tiempo will easily be that good.

    Seriously, you ppl exaggerate everything. He is good, but not Godlike, only because he can play fast octaves.

  • Maksim and Lisitsa? haha...

    THhere very different types of pianists, especially Sergio.

  • lol! He should Marry Valentina Lisitsa!! haha!

  • Why SHE all of people?

    Whom does he marry? By the way I´m convinced that he has a girlfriend, perhaps lots of girlfriends. Look, this man is a glamor boy.

    And his playing is incredible!!

  • check her out on youtube... she's another awesome pianist... i recommend the rachmaninoff etude.. short, sweet, and to the point.

  • BTW everybody, this is a clip from his interview on some french show. i'd rather see the whole performance, but i can't deny this clip is fucking awesome! i looked online for DVD performances... not too much out there.

    sergio is an amazing pianist and i love his illustrative playing, but let's not forget that tchaikovsky wrote the song. this part was meant to be played fast.. if i'm not mistaken, the octaves were meant to be played as a cadenza. (I dunno what's with all the bad comments..?)

  • lol hax

  • Ow ! O_o It's just too fast !

  • Effettivamente Tiempo sembra sempre voler mettere in mostra la sua tecnica, il che colpisce forse più la vista che l'udito, ma questa è musica e il suono dovrebbe essere tutto...

  • Ciao phemt666 certo. Questo effeminato non fa altro che suonare presto e forte.

    Nos e veramente musicista.

    Suona incredibilmente presto ........le ottave a 300 Km .........ma cosa significa quello?

    666

  • Ho fatto un sbaglio.....ho voluto scribere: "NON e veramente musicista"...

    666

  • Chi gli ha dato dell'effeminato? Chi ha detto che non è un musicista? Ho fatto un commento e anche costruttivo dire. Una grande tecnica è strumentale al suono, non è fine a se stessa...

  • Dell`effeminato gli hanno dato in molti "Link". Non ho detto finocchio, soltanto sembra. Piú di altro sembra il figlio di mama....... grande tecnica ? Si e anche no perché como fatto meccanico va bene, ma no ha nessun controlo di frasseggio fino e altre cose simile. Questo lo puoi vedere en il link dove suona il 2do tempo del terzo concerto di Beethoven. Piú movimenti ceh quel che suona, e sembra chiaro che lui non sa cosa stá facendo. Non e un musicista nel senso de la parola.

    666

  • This guy wins the octaves race, that's for sure but musically it is way out of context.

  • his play resembles martha argerich

  • Come on chiyenyuki...........Martha teached him some time ago, but Martha is martha .............

    666

  • SERGIO!!!!I need whole performens of Tchaik. asap!!!!!!!!!!!I need it .

  • okay, this does not sound really good. Why ?

    1° "Tempo I (allegro con fuoco) ma tranquillo, POCO piu mosso".

    NOT PRESTISSIMO ! ! !

    2° "FF then FF MARTELATO E RITENUTO MOLTO."

  • Very ugly and uinneccesary speed ..to say what? ..i can play faster than you all?.

    This talented but effeminate and few brain pianist, has to try to do thngs alone and not to try to co`y his teacher Martha Argerich who despite the great pianist she is, also is sometimes an histerycal woman who make a lot of nonsense when is in a bad mode. Like the video rehearsal when she play the same octaves so fast without any reason more than : "I like it".

    frateramadeus

  • siempre tienes algun comentario negativo. ¿Por qué no cierras la boca un rato? Es obvio que no puedes tocar el piano y que no sabes nade de musica.

  • Oye "wilscon" hijo de puta. Yo abro la boca cuando me da la gana y respondo por frateramdeus que el y ytpiano7 finalmente fueron bloquedaos porlos verdaderos que tenían esa identidad. Bajo ese seudónimo hemos escrito hasta 5 personas algunas vez. Yo soy una de ellas y frateramdeus (el no verdadero) está de gira y por eso en su lugar te mando a la mierda. Que no se nada de piano? pobre infeliz que no tienes idea con quien estas tratando. Además......aprende redacción so cagado ------>

  • ------------> Comentario negativo no significa estar en desacuerdo con lo que alguien toca. ¿Entendiste? Comentario negativo es cuando no se dice la verdad perjudicando a otro. Yo digo la verdad que obviamente te cuesta mucho esfuerzo entenderla por tu ignorancia so mediocre, adorador de carroña. Tu "Idolito" el mariconcito Tiempo tiene mucho talento, muchos dedos, poco cerebro y mucho amaneramiento. Anda a usar Scheriproct.

    666

  • look asshole martha is an artist, she is supersensitive and the reason is because she is ...................A SENSITIVE ARTIST YOU ARE NOTHING STUPID BOY

  • Wow, that's a huge fucking orchestra.

  • Boy, i love your sense of humour!! I am still laughing

  • lol if this is huge don't watch karajan and Beethoven's 9th symphony T_T

  • Great speed, fun to watch, fast as his teacher Martha (not as clear and powerful), but certainly not musical.

    Few pianists play these octaves in a musical way (i.e.Pogorelich)

  • Perhaps Tchaikosvky intended this to be the most profound moment of the concerto? There are merely exciting ways of playing this passage and boring ways. There is no profoundly musical way.

  • I don't like :s...in my opinion technically is perfect, but this type of music is not so fast and hard, it may sound more nice

  • It's not absolutely "perfect" :in fact he misses one "G-F" (0'11 ; he plays A)

    But it's so fast...

  • Haha... finally this "Rickyr389" make an intelligent comment. Well sometimes never is too late.

    frateramadeus

  • Quelle force et technique. Extraordinaire.

  • Still not as good as the incomparable Martha Argerich

  • There's such a thing as playing this TOO fast. Argerich is sometimes guilty of an overly speedy, and less musical technique.  I guess I'm one the few who don't care much for her.

  • sorry its tcahiowksyk but its not normal speed its 2x speed

  • Simply for the sake of seeing people's responses. You're still here to, so I'd say were both up to the same thing. We just have diffrent stands.

  • You are wrong. It's Tchaikovsky's piano concerto no. 1

  • hahahah, oh that's too good...

  • "Are there any differences between sergio tiempo and martha argerich? "

    This phrase is wrong,I think.

    He has talent different from his teacher.

    When he was a child,he was good piano player.

  • His playing is diabolic (listen to his scarbo, wow!). Very musical and artistic. He studied with Alexander Rabinovitch who's a great genius. So lucky this guy!

  • Eat shit katsaris!!!!!!!!

  • well jecian i m glad you re still out there trying to find someone better than him.The only question is why?

  • 彼の先生のマルタ・アルゲリッチと比べるのはよくないと思うんで­すけどねえ

  • it is inevitable that you copy a lot from your teacher as this is the person who tells you how to play! as he is taught by martha argerich it is not that surprising!

  • wow.

  • Is he trying to copy Martha Argerich??

  • Or maybe Horowitz ?

  • oh yeah he made this minor mistake at 0:11, just 10 more of those in each of his performances and he'd definitely be copying horowitz!

  • Well he was taught by Martha

  • Wow, so many negative comments based on 22 seconds of footage. Musicians have a nasty habit of making hasty judgments and being only able to see what already supports their view - we can be more rational and responsible than that.

  • You're so right!:-)

  • Mr. Tiempo's technique is no doubt superb, but musicianship is not about that. He is so concerned with outspeeding everybody else, but it comes across as exactly that, as concern with spectacular muscular dexterity as oposed to say for instance Ms. Argerich, who gives us a sense of impeding danger and the inevitability of such tempos. Mr. Tiempo lacks the ability to convey such emotions because he is merely concerned with being in awe of his own technical prowess. Absolutely boring.

  • That speed owns me.

  • He's the soloist - It's the cadenza - he can jolly well do what he likes - it's his moment! That is what a cadenza is for!! I disagree with anyone who says his technique isnt good..his ocatves are perfectly fine! and the way he plays this really makes the heart race right at the climax... I'd pay to hear it! so would thousands of other professional musicians..leave him alone!

  • well said!!!

  • There is a great paradox in piano playing: if you play superb technically (Argerich, Tiempo, Lang, Berezovsky), you are a robot. If you play very expressive, you "probably" lack of techinical means...

  • berezovksy is the exception to your rule, hes is phenominal technically, but has a brillaitn interpretation as well, he did win the tchaikovsky competition in 1990, so i reckon the judges are probably right.

  • Horowitz, Cziffra, Richter?

  • WOW!!! (...) But he's an idiot exhibitionist playing this part this fast!!

  • ..............................­..

  • fukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

  • watch?v=MALX7cVpuKU

    me testing out octaves for FUN.

  • Argerich Owns those octaves :D

  • :DDDDD

  • dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

  • fingersticks

  • i am amazed and disgusted at the same time.

  • It's truly really fast, but it's just more impressive because we see his hands. There's a lot (well, still relative) of pianists who are playing this at this speed

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!

    tru da TEMPO endurance weaknezz a bit vizible in da end but DAIM, da raw wank zkillz iz TRU!!!!!
