Gawrilow plays Rachmaninoff Etude Tableaux f sharp minor

[laudrupli]

I personally think this performance is a cacophony of wrong notes and key slapping, quite a mess

[anonymousQ45]

i have the recording or Rachmaninhoff preludes and etudes hes an incredible interpreter.

[93MusicIsLife93]

wow...there is so much more to this piece, so many colors and voices and effects and music! This probably made Rachmaninoff cry out in agony...it was so awful. it's un Etude-TABLEAU. He missed the tableau part. This was the farthest thing from a painting or a picture.

[siriuscmedia]

Fantastic! I thought only the young Richter could play this etude so fast ... and by the way the public could have applauded more, the little mistake at the end did not spoil anything at all ... it was not nice they applauded so coldly.

[davidavid2009]

I have the best interpretation of this etude tableaux on my channel, you absolutely have to watch this stunning video!!!!

[ipublica]

Yes, I saw it already about two weeks ago ... thanks for telling me. It was this video that convinced me that Gavrilov can be compared with the late Svjatoslav Richter. Actually I am now exchanging with Andrei and see he was not very fond of Richter, and announces a grandiose peak in his career, within the next decade, promising to surpass not only Richter but other piano geniuses. I believe much of his talent is not yet known to the great public. It was not to me just a few weeks ago.

Good performance!

[stefici90]

o i soooooooo don`t like this playing!!!

[classicalPiano1]

That was a very good performance.

[cattleman6420012000]

Gavrilov is a fantastic pianist. i heard him live recently and he was fantastic.

[pianonerd]

Some of you people are on crack--this is amazing piano playing despite a certain dryness

[galgasin]

i don´t like his play in this etude, but i think we must recognize that it´s a very exiciting and wild performance of this etude, powerful and

exccentric

[antoinezygfryd]

En s'exerçant bien,Gavrilov peut passer sous la barre des deux minutes...

[cattleman6420012000]

Fantastic playing.

[Slava69]

too fast, too mechanical for my taste

[thisismymoniker]

I would agree. Technique is perfect for troupes of pianists today but such performances may lack soul.

[Brianjonestown]

Trashy

[davidhrosales]

Richter version sounds more like a story, a scene, which is what Tableaux means: a short story or scene. This version sounds more like a academic exercise.

[zkool5]

Phenomenal.  I love the music.

[sviatoslavberezovsky]

this is almost more exciting then Richters version

[marcelmombeek]

that's not difficult to be more exiting in piano playing then richter, but this is indeed much to fast, however, I am very happy gawrilov is back on stage!!!!

[sviatoslavberezovsky]

i won't comment what you said about Richter, i know now we have a different opinion about him ;)

[Cornour]

I will comment back instead, saying that Richter had perfect dynamics in his performance, while Gavrilov, despite being extraordinary good, severly lacks proper dynamics in several fragments of this performance.

However, this piece is technically monstruous and I really liked it!

[chad410]

Richter played it this speed didn t he? i din t understand what all these comparisons are about. I like gavrilov but Richter is not the same.

[cattleman6420012000]

I love this playing.

[cattleman6420012000]

I don't understand why someone has marked my comment down. I do love his playing in this music. He is outstanding!

[cattleman6420012000]

Amazing pianist! With all his incredible virtuosity he really lives the music.

[chad410]
