Arcadi Volodos - Horowitz/Sousa Stars and Stripes Forever

[marcohorowitz8]

if Volodos finds it difficult, what chance do us normal mortals have???

[meistersinger92]

I don't ever want to hear that musicians are unathletic ever again. Also, I wonder how out of tune the piano was by the end.

[Kakarot21591]

@meistersinger92 Oh yeah, playing piano like that will get your forearms jacked!

1 person is a bitch ...

[kristy1792]

Awesome!

[OrangeSodaKing]

Volodos does a great job playing this.

[pvonberg]

No I wouldn't write the same thing if it were in reverse order.Maybe you can't tell the difference between the two performances. I certainly can.

[TanteKrissi]

He shouldn't make such face expressions while playing. One should always make piano playing look easy, I think.

[pvonberg]

Nice try. Reminds me of those painters who produce fake Rembrandts. At first glance you think you're looking at a Rembrandt, the guy reproduced everything perfectly. Then you realize the work is a brilliant imitation.That there is nothing of the artist's

's own vision. Flying fingers, yes. Horowitz'z demonism, subtlety, sly wit, no.

@pvonberg

And if the two versions had been released in reverse chronology, would you be saying the same thing about the Horowitz version?

[angrycaveman]

he is a BEAST! damn!

[lysippus]

steinway rules.  any steinway

[SnorttyRickRoll]

What a masterful video to post on youtube containing one of the most patriotic peices in history. Volodos truely has immense talent to play three and four part melodies at once and at the tempo he preforms at.

look at all the stupid slappers with their fans trying to imagine they are in the victorian high class,what a load of toffee nosed snobs-shoot the lot of them

[joe69rocket]

[Pianoman1770]

Such a great song arranged by one of my favorite pianist (Horowitz) played on my favorite instrument played by one of my favorite pianists :D

[Pianoman1770]

indubitably

[loves2listen]
