RISØR IN BRUSSELS Andsnes and Hamelin rehearsing the "Rite" #BOZAR

[lsbrother]

Andsnes mentions that 'it is almost impossible to play on one piano' and I have a vague memory of a tv program at least 20 years ago with Barenboim and Ashkenazy doing just that and Ashkenazy commenting how difficult it was!

Can anyone confirm that or did I just dream it?

@lsbrother Yes you are right. Askenazy&Barenboim performed it in the duet,(4H 1piano)original version which altho difficult to handle, sounds denser and more concentratedly savage than the more spacious 2-pianos. Barenboim joked afterwards that the Festival Hall would need to buy a new piano!

@NOSEhow2LIV Thanks - nice to have my vague memory confirmed.

At 4:16 xD

Nice interview, btw :) I hope the whole performance will be recorded; after this, I'd really like to watch/listen their version!
