I swear the main female protagonist in Nodame Cantabile is based on this guy. He's interpretation and flow overwhelms the mistake he makes. Heck, he even has that 'lip pouting' thing going on, the same as Nodame!
I love the wonderful musical flair and the freshness of the live performance. Many great pianists have played encores fast as they are pumped up with excitement after a successful concert. To hell with what people say. I love this very exciting over the top encore. I hate perfect studio performances and touch ups and cuts !! This performance musically moves me !!!!!
foolish comments from people without the training to recognize.Risk,character that gives the music its zest. few have wrists that can do this. An encore after a full program . You name other pianists who don't have 1/20 of his personality, or instincts.There are tens of thousands well trained but they are limited. Lisitsa doesn't have this kind of power or spontaneity. De Larrocha ,Argerich a powerhouse . Wang I predict won't last long.No ear for tone color it seems to me.
Gavrilov is a phenominal pianist. I heard him live in Rach3 in 2007 I certainly know. This is such an exciting live performance. It was an obvious success. I prefer a live performance which is exciting, rather than a dull accurate studio recording. When I heard him live in 2007 he played marvellously and he got a standing ovation. on average he is known to have a fantastic technique.
In a piece like this-a super virtuoso etude, it's more about whipping the audience up into a frenzy as long as there aren't a ton of missed notes. One must always balance the speed and virtuosity against any note-slips and in my book, the incredible speed with which he plays weighed against the missed notes is no big deal whatsoever. Amazing playing. I used to think someday I could play this fast, but then I realized I only had 10 fingers!
For those of you saying too many wrong notes...you are even less imaginative than Gavrilov himself.
"right notes" is just only one tiny part of music making. I can give you a perfect rendition of this etudes using a MIDI file (for the complete experience I can also add in some pops and clicks to imitate old recordings). no wrong notes, with any tempo. How's that?
Very good performance, live. 2 or 3 minor smudges but 100% better than most and very fast and breathtaking, I have a reasonable ear having played the piano for 68 years so I disagree with the complainers.
It's hard to believe anyone would find this performance anything less than incredible. Sure, Gavrilov is hardly one of the more imaginative musicians. But here he has a chance to share his incredible facility, and no one can deny that it is anything less than incredible. And it is Liszt - the composer's first version of the work was back in 1838 when he was anything but the refined musician. All he did was clean the work up in the later version, but it is still the wild young Liszt at heart.
Cziffra is a class above but I think you know that very well...Indeed the speed is there but Cziffra executes it at a speed which is safe for him...Gavrilow's tempo here is all but safe. As a result, we can unfortunately hear several mistakes, even at the very beginning...Just a bit disapointing in my opinion but there are some very good parts in it...Overall (very) good anyway :)
And it's obviously an encore! Give him a break. The guy had probably played some finger-wrecking stuff all night already! In any case, as one of my teachers used to say..."The notes are the starting point....not written in stone" How many wrong notes did Horowitz used to get away with??????????
i believe he plays too fast here, if that's possible. he's plays just a tad too quickly and it really takes some of the emotion away from a beautiful piece. a great performance nonetheless!
This is fantastic. Andrei Gavrilov is a fantastic pianist. This is an incredibly exciting musical performance. He has incredible musical flair. I heard him playing Rach 3 live in Dublin in October 2007. He was truly fantastic. The audience gave him a standing ovation.
I have a recording from 1974 Tschaikowsky Competition - he plays even more dirty notes, and won it. A convincing interpretation has obviosly nothing to do with with playing clean.
@hein2214 I agree with you hein.... this interpretation is very interesting. and yes la campanella is not for any pianist but surely Gavrilov is one virtuoso who can play this la campanella.
@hein2214 Exactly! Nowadays it seems that pianists with the least amount of mistakes are considered the best. Look at a random Cortot video, half of the comments are about wrong notes. People, goddamnit just listen to the MUSIC. If you do care about wrong notes why don't you listen to a MIDI file?
it was designed for a piano.. so it in fact is designed for a pianist to play. it just needs the right pianist - and i agree that gawrilow isn't the man to do it. kissin has the best rendition i've heard so far.
I really like his technic his fingering is superb look at his 4th fingers always up and high, he hammers the board with the mere tip something that some pianist really miss, I would say changes in the volume will make him perfect.
Back in the 1970's as distinguished a commentator as Joan Chissell recognised that in terms of virtuoso equipment, Andrei Gavrilov was second to none. She put him in the "super-Horowitz" class. If it were just his virtuosity, however, he might be ultimately boring, like Beresovsky or Lisitsa. What sets him apart is imagination and musicianship, and considerably subtlety.
chrispiano1, I want to hear him play a major Rachmaninov Concerto again. His Rachmaninov3 in Dublin in October 2007 was fabulous.He got a standing ovation.
Listen to the Chopin Etudes uploaded by his assistant on YouTube - they are sensitive and stormy, perfectly articulated and touching in their eloquence. There is true greatness in his playing, whatever his detractors say.
He has such big hands....you can see it in the beginning where he scarecely moves his right hand when most of us would need great wrist movement to execute those big lips properly....BIG hands, and talent btw =)
This is a fantastic performance. Incredible brilliance and risk taking. He is incredibly famous for his ability. this is a live encore. It is so exciting to listen to and he gets so many magical sounds.He is amazing. I am not interested with touched up performances.

Andrei Grawrilow extraordinario pianista de tecnica muy depurada pero sobre todo muy apasionado en esta obra de Franz Liszt lo demuestra. de un Mexicano de Mexico.

he messseessss up in the first couple bars!
i cant believe that. in all the stuff he does.
like in the recording of rachmaninoff playing his 3rd piano concerto in mvmt. 1 he plays everything perfect but his finger slips in the main theme in the beginning
This was an encore at the end of a fantastic concert. His playing is fabulous and exciting. Wonderful flair and beautiful touch near the beginning. All great pianists occasionally drop notes.He is human.
strong performance, but both Kissin and Gavrilov in my opinion lose the spirit of the piece in the end, because their speed and especially there fortissimo are not representing a campanella, a little bell.
But as to mistakes, there are more in Kissins performance than in Gavrilovs.
It's difficult, but for example Jorge Bolet manages a bit: he plays the end in the same tempo as the beginning which creates an atmosphere of ease, and he controls everything better. Additionally there is less pedal.
YesYesYes!Very brilliant,the mis-hits at start are unimportant as he gets the diabolic elegance even at this speed,(unlike Cziffra)and doesn't slow for really trick details,(as Cziffra has to).Very"live",typical of the best younger Gavrilov.
absolutely tremendously fabulous ! i've never in my life experienced such virtuosity and expression in piano playing before . Gavrilov is a sucker for the drama , and occasionly overdoes the stuff , but this is of such caliber, that you'd have to be either deaf or retarded not to see the amazing level of this performance . this is technically much more than complex scale runs , this is a piece for only the truly virtuos . Gavrilov (along with Horowitz) are my favourite performance - thumbs up !
Yundi li doesn't have mistakes? You must be kidding me. If you want to listen almost perfect version of this one watch kissin's interpretion. But Yundi li's version has more feeling in my opinion.
Liszt was no more than barely a 10th, which surprised people at his time when they heard about it (there is a witness who saw that when he saw Liszt playing and Liszt confirmed his observation afterwards). He could make very fast arpeggios with larger intervals, however, so it seemed he had large hands.
I really find this extremely exciting. You can hear the audience loved his playing.He is an amazing player. Remember this is a live encore.What mattered was the effect he had on the audience.I hate unexciting performances of this piece.
I agree with you totally Slobone. This is fantastic playing with amazing flair. It is absolutely unique. It is an encore of a very sucessful concert. I heard Gavrilov recently and I found his playing wonderful.
passionate but very hasty. His playing kinda made me feel uncomfortable because of his unstable tempo. however, I respect the character and his style of playing

ちょっとミスが多いけど、速さでなんとかしてるんだろうなぁ...
でももう少しスピード落としたほうがいいかもしれない。特にラストなんかは見せ場だし。

great pianist but too many mistakes.
if you want a flawless one, watch yundi li's version.
MacMannIbanez 3 years ago
of course, if you play it as boring as Yundi Li does, without taking the slightest risk, it can be played flawless...

Yundi li doesn't have mistakes? You must be kidding me. If you want to listen almost perfect version of this one watch kissin's interpretion. But Yundi li's version has more feeling in my opinion.

Kissin's version also has some "hearable" mistakes. If you want note-perfect, fast, but boring performance - see Valentina Lisitsa's one.

Rachnaninoff's was 12th... Maybe you wanted to say one 8va plus a 5th?

Liszt was no more than barely a 10th, which surprised people at his time when they heard about it (there is a witness who saw that when he saw Liszt playing and Liszt confirmed his observation afterwards). He could make very fast arpeggios with larger intervals, however, so it seemed he had large hands.

That is NOT how it's typically played.
But it was still very impressive.

I really find this extremely exciting. You can hear the audience loved his playing.He is an amazing player. Remember this is a live encore.What mattered was the effect he had on the audience.I hate unexciting performances of this piece.

Very impressive, but at that speed he makes a mess of the ending.

i agree totally. The end of this version for me was just a pile of mush. The ending of Yundi li's performance gave me goose bumps.

I think it's time they start giving pianists antidoping tests.
Great interpretation i think. i liked it. I've heard several overs. This is among my La Campanella Top 10.

Brilliant. Nice to hear the pianos & pianissimi really played soft, but fast and crystal clear at the same time.

I agree with you totally Slobone. This is fantastic playing with amazing flair. It is absolutely unique. It is an encore of a very sucessful concert. I heard Gavrilov recently and I found his playing wonderful.
cattleman6420012000 3 years ago
passionate but very hasty. His playing kinda made me feel uncomfortable because of his unstable tempo. however, I respect the character and his style of playing
rankfrankrank 3 years ago
It is a style. But I think the color of his sound was too light and the speed was a little quicker than that makes me comfortable.
