Emil Gilels plays Chopin Etude op.25 No. 2

[Bret6464]

Extraordinary how he performs with supreme clarity, and with his golden-tone even at his tempo :-)) Gilels performs in the tradition of Rachmaninoff - as Rach said "Gilels is the pianist worthy to be called his successor in pianism" :-))

@yiyiku

Well said.

Typical for the 'old Russian School': very fast.

But, as it is the great Gilels, it sounds wonderfully!

Geert Dehoux, pianist (Belgium).

no, it's from an astounding 1969 recital that was released on CD not once
