Last rehearsal - Brahms: Rhapsody op.79 /1, Frankfurt 1998

[musicluvr499]

I think the rhapsodies are to be played with a lot of passion, and there is a lot of room for interpretation. At the same time, you can't take too much liberty with this piece, or it ends up sounding too forced, like you're trying too hard to make it sound passionate or emotional.

[Chrisdvc26]

After 2 bottles of vine Brahms would play this cross.. slower and more powerful ..

[pyroprince78]

sounds very similar to pogorelich's interpretation.

[pedercic99]

not ivo. similar interpretation but totally different technical apparatus.

[salviati]

Isn't this Ivo?

[glitterpanda]

Mr. Choice!

[petie32]

Bravo. Pulls even more out of the piano than Brahams himself. Masculine.

[MianoPan]

Maybe a little bit too much rubato?

[BistTerrorist]

I must admit that I dont understand why U decided to play such a huge rubatos in this piece. There are moments wchich are brilliant and I like them but... the rubato destroy form in my opinion.

[catianalini]

totally agree

it's exceedingly romantic

[peixotoraul]

I think he is trying to copy pogorelich's version of this piece

[lentoagitato]

I completely agree that you should use rubato on this piece, but i feel that it was a bit overdone here...very nice work still tho!

[OnGuardForPeace]

A little give -- a little take -- a little rubato here -- a little hesitation there. That's performance. That's interpretation. That separates us from the cyborgs. Great playing!

[Polskapan]

Agreed! Finally, a comrade in rubato.

[shadowedneko]

It's brahms - its there to be pulled about

[pianoPhil1968]

personally i don't think you can pull it about so much, but it's your interpetation and you sell it well

[PianoGirl132001]

I love it!

[jesst7]

[yoshimaninov]

[lisztiano]

Bravo, pezzo bellissimo.
