Emil Gilels plays Scarlatti Sonata In F Minor L118

[kirlibirmasmavi]

Horowitz's is a journey, Gilels' is an accident. I would always remember the latter.

pure and streaming sound i get from emil gilels he plays this sonata as pure as it gets astonishingly well played. as if i am in heaven

[LinzAnn1e]

i'm playing this for exams, compared to this i suck ( sorry bout the language) how do you get this good?

[Bret6464]

@LinzAnn1e This is Emil Gilels :-)) No one was ever a greater artist, his tone and musicality, and foremost his expression is unmatched. I am sure you'll do fine :-)

[sbdude101]

@Bret6464 I couldn't agree more with your comments on Emil Gilels. He was one of a kind, such beautiful interpretations.

[maestrojimbo]

@LinzAnn1e ...the same way you get to Carnegie Hall.

This is one of the most impressive and expressive Piano interpretations I've ever heard. In my Piano collection, it is one of my absolute favourite one. Legendary Gilels.... 

[chopin65]

It speaks my longings.

[andjelinajolie]

Genijalno!

Gilels understands this music thoroughly. This music is like making love. Listening to this you can understand it too. Great performances unlock the meaning of the music. It is like speaking a language correctly. Pronouncing the words and phrases such that it makes sense. This is superb music, divine stuff that when understood it becomes transcendental. Listen understand and feel what it feels like to make love in perfect harmony. Scarlatti is also revealed as divine here...

@rexdxiv

You are so right! This music beautiful,pure and unconditional like love :-)

[SubRosaStructure]

Hmmm...Horowitz's Chopin Nocturnes are far from superficial. One thing for sure. This is a gorgeous representation.

very sweet.

[collongessoussaleve]

listen to Horowitz !! you will love it even more!

[Perkeno]

This is better, more penetrating. Horowitz is more superficial; he looks for effects too much.

[collongessoussaleve]

how can you say that horowitz is superficial? please, both are great...in different ways..

[vs0522]

I have to agree with Perkeno. This is much much more emotional than the Horowitz version.

[aneg24]

Horowitz is pure beauty. Gilels is more expressive. The attitude of both is very different to this kind of music.

[BNM321zxy]

I agree too

[amarilli78]

@Perkeno yes, exactly!

[Celicious]

My favourite interpretation of this little piece of heaven...
