Backhaus plays Beethoven #4 Part3

[karkpatrick]

アナログ感がいいね。大好きな曲だし。さすがバックハウス。

[Haskil2]

Tout dire de la musique, sans rien dire de soi : une grande leçon hier, une grande leçon aujourd'hui encore.

[pcpiratepete]

I am very humbled today

[klausknulp]

who can play like him today?

[PianoProductions]

Nobody! He was one of 3 greatest pianists. The other 2 were Rachmaninoff and Hoffmann

[StrivetobeDust]

Aw, come on. The man is in his, what, 80's here? Give Kissin and Hamilin a couple more decades and they might reach this level of interpretation, too. : )

[PianoProductions]

HAHA! Listen to Backhaus on 78th. He makes Kissin and Hamelin sound like they are missing 2 fingers on either hand when he plays a virtuoso pieces and in classical repertory they are total morons next to the great B.

[airad2]

Richter, Argerich, Cortot, Gilels...

[Gheorgyi]

@airad2 Let's just make no comparisons, they have no sense. Let's just be grateful to all these great performers for making us enjoy the bestr music. Gheorghij

[airad2]

[vova47]

True, again.

[vova47]

I agree absolutely.

[StrivetobeDust]

Wow! This gives substance to Backhaus' comments in The Art of Piano. He really does play it like two lovers dancing across the Greek landscape!
