Oleg Boshniakovich plays Mozart Fantasy in D minor KV 397

[Yamamoto1213y1]

Grigory Sokolov, Anatoly Vedernikov, Oleg Boshniakovich, they are my favorite Russian pianists.

[MrsLisaPotter]

This is the best version

[ckeilah]

The buzz is killing me. Did someone leave a penny in the piano???

[tytzer93]

Everyone is different.. Not every musician plays by the book.. Honestly playing everything by the book will make it sound a little stiff/robotic.. That's my opinion. But this is a down right awesome performance.

[Tarafriend33]

Mozart was like the Maralyn Manson of his time and this is a clear example of why his music was so controversial in his day. It's just insane! I love this! A beautiful example. Thanks for posting. :)

[MrPaevo]

@Tarafriend33 Hardly...

[Tarafriend33]

@MrPaevo What makes you say that?

[Kat10652]

Nice. I'm playing this piece right now, and I can play it at that speed.

[shenkeey]

@Kat10652 the speed isnt the hard part, in fact, its not that hard of a song. the emotion is where the difficulty is at

[Kat10652]

@shenkeey true, i can play it pretty good now, but i still dont like it because of the emotion factor... i mean the way that I play it, not her

[pianoguy1120]

this is played beautifully. im actually working on this piece right now, but i cant play that fast yet.

[Thisisnotmyrealname8]

hmmm, b+

[bonjovicaroline]

This piece was played excellent. It is a beautiful presentation. Some of comments are ridiculous. This is a piano performance, not a harpsichord. You can hear the piano.  Be an active listener, you can hear each note being played as well as the chords.

[tunglour]

Whatever, one of the better performances I've heard, even through the sound quality sucks. I wonder how does he play the first staff which is in presto?

[tunglour]

Hmmm?

Cool story bro

[tunglour]

insert trolling comment here

[1996Chrysler]

it's just a shame that Youtube doesn't require a standard of intelligence for the douchebaggery that posts here...

[findyourreason]

1996Chrysler...get a life. I don't have to pawn anything off on anyone, and I especially don't have to justify my son's comments to an idiot. I give him the freedom to have opinions and express them. I have a proposition for you. Why don't you, or the most talented 9 yr old relative you have, post a piano performance. I'll do the same with my son and we'll see who has an ounce of talent. Hmmm?

[1996Chrysler]

@Findyourreason Given the lengthy duration in which it took you to reply, I'd be more worried about just how poorly you use a thesaurus. You're quite pitiful. You attempt to blame a stupid post on an imaginary nine year old. Then you, the parent of the year, claim you allow said imaginary child to post with YOUR account. Given the utter and complete joke you are, I'm not entertained by your stupidity. Hmmm?

[Thilindel]

Haha wow you dumbasses argue about everything. If your 9 year old were so talented, then it would have known the difference between a piano and a damned harpsichord in the first place. This thread is lame

[KEAY99]

beautiful!!

[findyourreason]

Hey 1996Chrysler get a friggin' life! That comment was made by my 9 year old son, who can probably play better than you on his worst day! Ask the people at Interlochen and f*ck off.

[1996Chrysler]

@findyourreason are you that ignorant? Not sure where to start - trying to pawn off a comment full of ignorance on a mysterious nine year old, or assuming you have an ounce of talent coming from your loins.. Laughable.

[pugsrdabest]

he could've accented the bass more, otherwise it was perfect.

[Noshirm]

What an incredibly beautiful, novel presentation of this piece. Boshniakovich/'s interpretation has shed new light on K. 397. Would you have a recording by him of K. 396 as well?

[findyourreason]

Probably played on a harpsichord... The playing is beautiful in its characteristics. I also like the articulation on the presto sections.

Who is this guy?

[notbluenotbrown]

This is not a harpsichord.

[Kairusha]

THis is greatest musician who lived in Moscow, Russia and did teach at Gnessin Academy of Music. I wouls say last romantic!

[1996Chrysler]

Wow are you a complete moron? Any idiot knows a harpsichord sounds nothing like a piano. Your attempt to diatribe in the remote mention of articulation, when you are so clearly ignorant as to not even know the performer. . .laughable

[Brideshead09]

Sound points about harpsichords, but... I think you might want to look up the word 'diatribe'...

[1996Chrysler]

@brideshead09 understand extrapolating and a full vocabulary before assuming

[Brideshead09]

@1996Chrysler

With all due respect, my dear fellow, you're not extrapolating. You're using the word 'diatribe' in the wrong context. There is a remote difference. 'findyourreason' - or indeed his 9 year old son - ain't diatribin', ma homie. "Full" vocabulary? I wasn't aware that such things were finite... Also, if pedantry is the game, "to not know" is a split infinitive. As far as basic English grammar is concerned, it's not looking good, is it...

[1996Chrysler]

@brideshead09 Congratulations on making use of diatribe. *applause* Most excellent. Everybody! Get the popcorn, make haste!

[greenleaf9]

This is so beautiful! This is one of my all-time favorite pieces to play...Mozart is just so beautiful...His music transports you to another realm--truely.

Thanks for posting this performance. I loved every note. 5 *ed and faved. : )

[kwc1621]

This playing is also beautiful..!

[lodleyoo16]

it sounds beautiful, i want to learn it

[NJD3110]

i'm learning this piece and i LOVE it. i fell in love first time i heard it. it's so dark and poetic at the beginning* and gradually builds into the happy ending :)

*an influence for the first movement of the moonlight sonata?

[ParadoxLC]

A song composed by mozart for the opera Don Giovanni was the influence for the 1st movement of moonlight sonata... it actually sound almost exactly like it lol

[1996Chrysler]

Excellent, another pseudo-connoisseor speaking out of their ass.

[jimicheesecake]

my least favourite mozart fantasie, its played pretty well here

[PianoSonata]

Least?

And what would be your first?

[HouseMDyeah]

brilliant!!! 5**** that´s the way it should be played. thx for uploading it.

[Elendil176]

My favorite section is the part in D Major.

[TwiTrix]

i love the slurs he gets in along with staccato notes, at the bottom of the 2nd page, well bout 4 lines down. Its amazing, i cant get those slurs with the staccato on the right hand yet, this is my favourite interpretation of it yet! i like the last line on the 3rd page also, and the top of the 4th page. SCREW IT ITS GOOD OVERALL! especially his staccato and slurs on the 2nd page though :)

[Franklixxxx]

Although I do not play, i do apprecaite quality. I also enjoy your clear perception of why you enjoy the piece...Right on

[apple1061]

Dreamy!

[jerry12323]

95 VERRY WELL PLAYED

[truecrypt]

Again, your opinion is welcome but awarding the score is naive and ridiculous. You can do it to 10 y.e. youtubers - not to the masters.

[eaglemage5001]

I'm learing it myself but great job!!!

[CeaserXIX]

Have you heard the respective performance by Maria Yudina? Genius vs very good ... (only my very personal opinion of course)and thank you Truecrypt for making both of them available here.

[dudeguy927]

i must admit that im liking this video more than the others of this piece of music. Great job :-)

[crogersrx]

I would have to say that this performance really hits the expression and dynamics better than any other I've yet come accross on YouTube.

[Sura4]

lots of buzzing noise,but great piano playing,still.

[sagalat]

Perfection! Brilliant. Very 'romantic' interpretation.
