Jorge Bolet Master Class-Rachmaninoff Piano Conc.#3-Pt.4

[Eztoez]

CBA to follow the discussion, but Feghali is a beautiful pianist.

[ChesterFanningChorno]

Bottom line: if Feghali was so great, why is he more of a phantom pianist? Yes, that is the question and conclusion.

[surgere94]

Bolet's level of teaching is surreally profound..

[bontempo01]

Feghali completely ruled this masterclass. I wonder why he disappeared from the circuit. What an amazing young pianist he was.

[TheMoritati]

@bontempo01 Well, he still concertizes. Remember that two years after this, he won the Cliburn. One of the best, most musical pianist alive, in my opinion. He has a special tone that is nearly impossible to emulate (I spent lots of lessons with him trying to, haha), which you rarely hear anymore. He keeps such elegance without placing himself in within the vacuum of musical convention.

[bontempo01]

@TheMoritati Thanks for the reply! You took lessons with Feghali? Wow... that must have been something special. My comment was precisely that with this amazing ability, and having won the Cliburn as a unique springboard, you would expect to see him every year at the hottest concert venues... I guess I'm just complaining because I haven't had the chance to listen to him live here in Europe... :( Cheers!

[gerardbedecarter]

Fascinating!

[BrookHornblower]

"...it's a valid point of view and you do it very well..."

[Martel211996]

I hate the fact that the student tries to say something for instance "4:58: and the teacher ignores him and goes on with explaining something else. There are a lot of moments in this video of this. It makes the student feel stupid, I would not.

[LoftyProduction]

@Martel211996 "I notice when you're playing solo ..... ALONE" like he doesn't know what solo means jesus christ .... demeaning mother fucker.

[Martel211996]

@LoftyProduction yeah. Like the hell? My 83 year old piano teacher does the same. ill try to make a point and ask, but he does on talking about something else

[LoftyProduction]

@Martel211996 LOL 83? 

[Martel211996]

@LoftyProduction Yeah, go on my chanel and youll find videos of him, its under the playlist "improvisations" lol enjoy :)

[ethositachi]

@LoftyProduction

These pianists attend these master classes for a reason. Jorge Bolet's opinion happens to be worth its weight in gold.

Who cares if he's a little abrasive at times! He's actually very patient throughout. Stop getting offended so easily, it's bad for your health.

[LoftyProduction]

@ethositachi stfu, as if you come into a conversation that happened 3 months ago.

[marginallymental]

Bolet seems so gentle here---he's only said fifty times, "SLOW DOWN! Make sure, no matter what the dynamics, keep the tempo even!" He's said it quietly, firmly, repeatedly. No go ;-)) 'I can respect your point of view. Personally, I like it a little bit more...STEADY". What a gifted teacher, as well as player.

[mrjlowitz]

Bolet was very special. Beyond brilliant and an inspiring teacher. His repitoire was amazing. Another brilliant Cubam pianist was Jesus San Roma.

[kgiven100]

Great stuff!!!!!

[Beethovens7th]

Ohhh Feghali has some beautiful playing here at the beginning.

[Or3st1s]

Feghali IS the dude from That 70s Show :P

hahaha

[engjoel]

i almost dumbed your coment down when I realized you we're right...

[lizarthopinsky]

Bolet sure was a teacher lol, he really knew how to play a piece right lol.

[8cubanm]

It is very sad for me to watch Jorge Bolet, a great cuban virtuoso. Rest in peace maestro.

Daniel Morales

[pasxizeis]

why man ? death is a natural thing

[utubuser10]

This is somewhat sad to watch. These supremely talented young pianists, the likes of Douglas and Feghali, who at the time were aspiring to potential greatness that each of their abilities promised. They did eventually go on to fulfill that potential to some extent. They are now but footnotes in the history of great pianists. However, if there was never the aspiration, it may have been more fulfilling and humane. To only have the desire to be true to oneself without the approval of others...

[stagesix6]

this guy is a little dump do aways in the same way whatever the teacher says...

[iLoveUasMuchAsMusic]

I love watching Jose Feghali's hands fly!!!!

[lntc5]

what kind of moron says..u cant play something out of beat in the beginning of part 3 and in the end say.. play this slower... i hate ppl who contradict themselves..

[Krisnov]

beacuse it is end !!!!

[acorntechnique]

what kind of moron feels that he's better qualified to teach piano, than one of the greatest pianists that ever lived?

[christoperfect]

You obviously don't understand the structures and tempi of a concerto. Sad day. If you were driving a car, you would keep the speed steady until you were ready to stop. Prior to the stop you slow down, or else the end would be too sudden... He's not contradicting himself at all. He knows music.

[IloveAlexisBledel689]

I would have loved a Ossia version of the cadenza :(

[Ranec16]

Man , Bolet is the true gentleman .

[fabrizzzio48]

Definately a piece too complex for the inmature young pianist to rerally comprehend. He can play it, but does not understand it. He is playing notes, but no real meaning.

The Lang Lang disease.

Bravo Maestro Bolet, a glory of Cuba!

[jerrykim2]

nice to hear it without orchestra for once.

[jinfiesto]

I think Feghali is much better than Levin. His playing is much more fluid and beautiful.

[maxi937]

Another fantastic pianist!

[credman]

Feghali is hot!

[fortissimo25]

yah heez cute :)

[pianowendy]

yeah he is!looked handsome~~~lol~~~

[akinderreality]

its so amazing to see a non-native english speaker being so immediate in response, it really says something for the language of music

[lacrymosa85]

Jose looks like Fez from that 70s show lol

[pianowendy]

who is Fez? Actor?

[lacrymosa85]

Wilma Valderama

[pianowendy]

？？？You mean Wilma Valderama is Fez? Yeah he looked cute,but I don't think Jose Feghali looked like him at all...

Wow I'm in love with Rach 3!!!!I wanna play it!!!!

[dermotthefifth]

this masterclass collection is absolutely fascinating to watch.. Thanks a million for putting it up! Amazing to see Barry douglas there! Bolet is really a very brilliant speaker..

[supersmashmike45]

barry douglas!!! wow

[stxer]

Incredible series. Thank you so much. I sure hope they won't take these videos down for any reason.

[ChrisWatch]

he sure didnt really explain the differences between horowitz/rachmaninoffs interpretations/understanding of the mood with there different point of views/notes but he sure gave much understanding on horowitz side with that one guy... and with this one he calls it a point of view doesnt enjoy just "a valid point of view -_- okay lets move on."

[zkool5]

Who cares about Horowitz's interpretation? Rachmaninoff wrote this work (and the cadenzas), and Bolet is shedding light into the music itself and Rachmaninoff's rendition in concert.

[AllUserNamesTaken111]

lol

[08ndl]

feghali's eyebrows must be getting quite a workout

[SphericalMiracle]

You ought to see my teacher play.... See if you can find some video of Aviram Reichert around.

[TheMadman2006]

where do you study at?

[luganskymichelangeli]

youtubecom/profile?user=aviram­reichert

[luganskymichelangeli]

oops..it is " .com "

[jjp009]

I can't stand pianists who make monkey faces while playing...you know it's purely for dramatic effect for the audience. He wants them to think he's so deep into the music. I don't buy it with most pianists.

[Dionyseus82]

It's not for dramatic effect, his facial expressions help him with his timing and tone. Each pianist have their own methods, this is his method.

[TheMadman2006]

Finally someone says it. I tend to agree with you. and yet i see dionyseus82's point as well. As a pianist myself, i see it all the time. And most the time I see it its for the dramatic theatrical effect and not a method. Infact as far as i know, i could be wrong, one is taught to play without having to rely on such things. Now before someone gets onto me.

[michaeldrengenberg]

What great concentration and focus Bolet had, totally dedicated to the music, thank you for this fascinating look!
